Florida, Saint Augustine.
Viewed from above, the land was covered in scorched, crudely harvested sugarcane, citrus, and cotton plantations. This vast plantation had long since developed into a fully functional town.
Sugar mills, warehouses, pastures, all plantation buildings were seized by the black insurgents.
Throughout the process, gunfire was incessant, and from time to time, blacks would drag out corpses, piling them into the ditch alongside.
At the entrance and exits of the plantation, gallows stood tall with the bodies of runaway slaves hanging from them, replaced by white rebels goaded by the news of the "rebel army," planning to revolt against their masters.
The whites brutally executed comprised only a third of the town's inhabitants. More were bound with ropes, driven into cages, becoming rare white slaves reminiscent of the Middle Ages.
