A slave insurrection started on Sankt Jan in the Danish West Indies (now St. John, United States Virgin Islands) on November 23, 1733, when 150 African slaves from Akwamu, in present-day Ghana, revolted against the owners and managers of the island's plantations. Led by Breffu, an enslaved woman from Ghana, and lasting several months into August 1734, the slave rebellion was one of the earliest and longest slave revolts in the Americas. The Akwamu slaves captured the fort in Coral Bay and took control of most of the island. They intended to resume crop production under their own control and use Africans of other tribes as slave labor.

rdfs:comment	1733 års slavuppror på Saint John på ön Sankt Jan i Danska Västindien utbröt den 23 november 1733, när cirka 150 afrikanska slavar, ledda av den kvinnliga slaven Breffu, tillhörande i nuvarande Ghana, framgångsrikt gjorde uppror mot öns danska slavägare, tog kontroll över fortet i Coral Bay, dödade slavägarna och behärskade ön under flera månader. Deras plan var att fortsätta bedriva plantageverksamhet med hjälp av slavar från andra afrikanska stammar. Från maj 1734 återerövrades ön av Danmark med hjälp av förstärkningar från Franska Martinique, och 25 augusti 1734 var upproret besegrat när flera av dess ledare och deltagare, bland dem Breffu, begick självmord. Det var en av de första större och mest framgångsrika slavupproren i Amerika.
