samuel sharpe

Samuel Sharp, also called 'Daddy' Sharpe (or Sam Sharp), he was a Deacon at the Burchell Baptist Church in Montego Bay, Jamaica, during the 19th century. He spent most of his time travelling to different estates in St. James educating the slaves about Christianity and freedom. Sharpe had formed a secret society among the slaves and many of his meetings were held at night. In 1831 he led the Christmas Rebellion (Baptist War) which started at Kensington Estate in St. James and then spread throughout the western end of the island.
