The largest slave revolt in American history, the 1811 German Coast Uprising, takes place just outside of New Orleans.
Between sixty-four and five hundred enslaved people rise up on the German Coast forty miles outside of New Orleans, and march to within twenty miles (thirty-two kilometers) of the city gates.
The revolt takes the entire military might of the Orleans Territory to suppress and is the greatest threat to American sovereignty in New Orleans.
