Description: Sketch of a flag taken from rebels against slavery in Barbados, after the uprising known as Bussa's Rebellion.
The flag appears to stress the rebels' loyalty to Britain and to the Crown while conveying their earnest desire for liberty. British forces on Barbados suppressed the revolt and hundreds of the rebels were killed.
