Episode 19: Caleb & The German Coast Uprising

In this gripping episode of The Big Bad Boot, Caleb dives into one of the largest—yet often overlooked—slave revolts in American history: the 1811 German Coast Uprising. Fueled by the spirit of revolution and the unyielding fight for freedom, hundreds of enslaved people in Louisiana rose up against their oppressors in a bold and bloody attempt to reclaim their lives.
 
What started as a secret rebellion on a plantation quickly erupted into an organized march toward New Orleans, with freedom hanging in the balance. Who led this daring insurrection? How did the enslaved fighters coordinate their attack? And why has this story been buried beneath the pages of history?
 
Join Caleb as he tells Kati and you about this incredible act of resistance, the brutal consequences that followed, and the lasting impact it left on Louisiana’s history. This is not the history lesson you were taught in school—this is the raw, unfiltered story of those who risked it all in the fight for liberation.
