Historical notes:
In August 1823, the enslaved Black people of Demerara met at Mahaica to plan a strike. The slave, Quamina, tried to keep the uprising peaceful. Advice was sought from the local Anglican priest, and considerable discussion took place among slaves, owners, priest, and the government, but the planters and governor felt threatened, and the rebellion was quickly put down by soldiers. Present-day Demerara-Mahaica in Guyana contains Georgetown.
