  • Madison Washington war der Anstifter einer Revolte auf dem Sklavenschiff Creole im Jahr 1841. Washington diente als Schiffskoch, während er zusammen mit 134 anderen Sklaven von Virginia nach New Orleans verfrachtet wurde. Dabei stachelte er 18 seiner Mitgefangenen zu einer Rebellion an. Sie übernahmen die Kontrolle über die Creole und segelten zur britisch kontrollierten Insel Nassau. Trotz amerikanischen Protests schickten die Briten die Sklaven nicht zurück, sondern ließen sie schließlich frei. Zuvor sperrten sie Washington und seine Komplizen allerdings wegen Meuterei einige Monate ein. Madison Washington war der Namensgeber für den Helden in Frederick Douglass’ Roman, The Heroic Slave.

  • Madison Washington was an American enslaved man who led a slave rebellion in America on November 7, 1841, on board the brig Creole, which was transporting 134 other slaves from Virginia for sale in New Orleans, as part of the coastwise slave trade. On the night of Nov. 7, 1841, Washington led 18 of his fellow slaves into rebellion, killing slave trader John R. Hewell and subduing the crew. Taking control of the Creole, they commanded that it be sailed to Nassau, which was a British colony. The United Kingdom had already abolished slavery in 1833 in the British Empire. Despite American protests, the British declared the slaves to be free persons under their law and refused American demands for their return. The British authorities in Nassau took Washington and his 17 conspirators into custody under charges of mutiny. A special session of the Admiralty Court heard the case, but ruled in favor of the men and freed them in April 1842. The remaining 116 slaves had achieved freedom immediately in the preceding fall. Five had remained on the ship and chose to return to the United States and slavery. As 128 slaves gained freedom resulting from this revolt, it is considered the most successful in United States history. (en)
