inscribed by the widow of edward john eyre, Governor of Jamaica during the rebellion. The definitive study of the Morant Bay uprising of 1865, with details of what conditions led up to the event. On October 11, 1865, a group of between 200 and 300 blacks, led by Paul Bogle marched into Morant Bay to protest the stranglehold that the planters, in most cases their ex-masters, had over them. The apprentice system that followed emancipation in 1834 did little more than place blacks back in virtual slavery. The marchers were fired on, killing seven and precipitating massive reprisals from angry blacks all over the island. Not in Blockson or Work.
