Samuel Sharpe ~ The Man Who Freed Jamaica
Episode 182
“I would rather die upon yonder gallows than live in slavery.”
Jamaica, 1831. A colony built on the backs of the enslaved, where the weight of oppression had long simmered beneath the surface. But in the shadows of the sugarcane fields, a man was preparing to ignite the flames of freedom. His name was Samuel Sharpe.
A preacher, an orator, a visionary—Sharpe was no ordinary rebel. He did not raise a sword, nor did he seek bloodshed. Instead, he wielded words, faith, and an unshakable belief that slavery could not, and would not, last forever. What began as a peaceful strike soon erupted into one of the largest uprisings in Jamaica’s history, shaking the British Empire to its core.
This is the story of Samuel Sharpe—the man who turned sermons into revolution, the leader who dared to defy an empire, and the martyr whose sacrifice helped bring an end to slavery in Jamaica. His name may not be as well-known as other revolutionaries, but his impact was undeniable.
