Stono rebellion and the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Dougl, what were the effectiveness of different ?

the stono rebellion was when 20 slaves that worked on a plantation in charles town. these 20 slaves were outside of a gerneral/ gun store where they were thinking about robbing and killing the two white workes of the store. they all go inside and kill the two workers and take all of the guns. they begin to walk down the road and they come to a plantation and recruit more slves and kill the plantationg owners. tey do the same for a couple more plantations. the governor of virgina heard about this and he called in militia. the militia caaptured and killed the slaves that were part of this group of slaves. the ai reason for the slaves doing this was for them trying to escape to florida which was where the spanish lived at this time. the spanish did NOT believe in slavery.
