Breffu, genannt „Königin von St. John“, war eine Anführerin des Aufstands der Sklaven von 1733 auf St. John, einer kleinen #Karibikinsel, die bereits 1718 von den Dänen kolonisiert wurde. #Breffu stammte ursprünglich aus dem Königreich #Akwamu (heutiges #Ghana) und wurde auf einer Plantage versklavt, die Pieter Krøyer gehörte. Am 23. November 1733 führte Breffu zusammen mit König Claes, König Juni und Kanta (alle ethnisch zu Akwamu gehörend) einen der frühesten dokumentierten Fälle eines koordinierten Aufstands unter versklavten Personen an.

Der Tod des Akwamu-Königs im Jahr 1730 störte diese Kontrolle und das Volk der Akwamu wurde bald zur Mehrheit der versklavten Bevölkerung, die in die Karibik exportiert wurde.

Why does purple dominate in lupin fields? Biology and the bees, says scientist
About 30 years ago, the Prince Edward Island government tried unsuccessfully to eradicate the flowers. Now, lupin-covered fields and hillsides are a staple in tourism.
