On this day, 19 September 1795, two enslaved people who had been leading a revolt on the Dutch colony of Curaçao were betrayed and taken prisoner, effectively ending the month-long rebellion. They and two other leaders were executed, and many other rebels had been killed in the fighting. Despite this, the government was forced to grant limited rights to the enslaved.
