But seeing as you came back so nice (I mean that genuinely btw cos I know twitter can read sarcastically) I’ll re state. The greater scale of rebellions in the Caribbean are due to multiple factors none of which point to the Africans in the Caribbean being unique...
There were however influxes of military trained African soldiers in Jamaica and Haiti in key moments in their history but let’s put that aside an look more generally....
