The Rise of the Slave Army

Jeno's army captured the town of dandon, which guaranteed access to the spanish side of the island. It was dangerous to be white in council moderation - it was almost suicidal to be black and not join the insurrection. The slaves now numbered at least 20 thousand, with other contemporary guesses putting it as high as 80 thousands. They controlled the entire eastern half of the north province by end of october. But despite these advantages and success, the momentum of the slave insurrection finally stalled out.
