The Berbice Rebellion was a slave rebellion in Guyana[3] that began on 23 February 1763[2] and lasted to December, with leaders including Coffij. The first major slave revolt in South America,[4] it is seen as a major event in Guyana's anti-colonial struggles, and when Guyana became a republic in 1970 the state declared 23 February as a day to commemorate the start of the Berbice slave revolt.[2]
