African-born slaves led armed resistance in the eighteenth century

Evidence

Who, then, resisted slavery in the eighteenth century? The records concerning armed revolt indicate that it was mainly the African-born, including male and female, young and old, plantation slave and urban slave. This emphasis on the African-born may have been for the simple reason that Africans outnumbered the Creoles owing to the low birthrate on the plantations and the heavy importation of Africans. — Cedric J.

• XREF: The African-born as radical core connects to the broader claim that the Black radical tradition was carried to the Americas by Africans themselves, a recurring theme Robinson develops across chapters.
