1780 Black Camp Rebellion
The 1780 Black Camp Rebellion was a brief loyalist uprising in Sussex County, Delaware that occurred during the American Revolutionary War. It was a local reaction to the American War of Independence by Tories (loyalists) who opposed the independence movement and intended to secure Sussex County for the British.〔Hancock, Harold B. ''The History of Sussex County, Delaware'', pp. 43-44.〕
The insurrection lasted from July 15, 1780 until about August 10, 1780, when pro-American militia forces were sent in to round up and arrest the participants. The insurrectionists were mainly from Cedar Creek and Broadkill Hundreds, and their headquarters were in a swamp about six miles north of Georgetown (an area later settled as Ellendale, Delaware) that was located in what had been disputed wilderness territory between Delaware and Maryland.〔Hancock, pp. 43-44.〕
== Participants ==
Most of the insurrectionists were poor farmers in the County who were frustrated over the situation that the war had left them in. The leaders of the insurrection were Bartholomew Banynum (Barnum) of Broadkill Hundred and William Dutton of Cedar Creek Hundred.〔Hancock, pp. 43-44.〕
