What was the method of suppression of the berbice revolt?

The Berbice Revolt, which occurred in 1763 in present-day Guyana, was suppressed through a combination of military force and strategic alliances. The colonial authorities, led by Colonel James Deare, utilized a mix of local militias and European troops to combat the enslaved Africans who had risen against their oppressors. Additionally, the colonial forces leveraged divisions among the rebels and exploited the lack of unified leadership, ultimately leading to the revolt's defeat by 1764. The suppression was marked by brutal reprisals against the captured rebels to deter future uprisings.
