Black Genius Framework: Unit 2 - Slave Rebellions Resistance. Strategy. Liberation. Global Impact.What if students learned that enslaved people were not passive victims of history - but brilliant strategists, military leaders, political thinkers, and architects of freedom? Black Genius Framework: Unit 2 - Slave Rebellions re-centers the narrative of resistance by exploring the intellectual, strategic, and global power of enslaved Africans and their descendants who fought back against oppression. This unit moves beyond simplified textbook summaries to examine organized revolts, maroon societies, shipboard rebellions, coordinated uprisings, and revolutionary movements that reshaped nations and disrupted empires.
