In the run-up to the publication of my new book, The Great Resistance, on 6 Jan 2026 (link in bio), I’ll have a daily post featuring photos from my research trips, along with a snippet from each of the book’s 35 chapters. Today: LaPlace, Louisiana 💙📚 #booksky #thegreatresistance #history
Chapter 25: ‘A much larger grasp at freedom took place in 1811 about 30 miles upriver from New Orleans … The plotters decided to strike on a cold night, right at the beginning of the Mardi Gras season … ’
A white house with a rust-coloured metal roof and two gabled windows. A porch runs the length of the house. This is the old Andry plantation house, in LaPlace, LA where the 1811 slave revolt began. A map of the plots of land divided into plantations along the Mississippi River, in an area outside of New Orleans known as the German Coast. A memorial to Charles Deslondes, who led the 1811 uprising, at the nearby Whitney Plantation.
