Zambo

Juan Andresote, an ex-slave of mixed African and Indian ancestry (a "Zambo"), leads a revolt against the commercial policies of the Spanish Vicery of New Granada (modern-day venezuela); Andresote led a rebel coalition consisting of fugitive slaves, free blacks, and Indians.In 1732, Spanish officials in Venezuela threw 150 conscripted Indians and Africans, and 100 white soldiers against Andresote, whom the Spanish Crown saw as a business rival. When Adresote's guerrilla fighters surrounded the invaders, their soldiers of color defected. Then, the musket fire of Andresote's men finished the work, killing or wounding more than half of the whites, as the rest scurried home. Andresote is never caught.
