I had never of this event until I came across it in a history book I am reading. A bunch of runaway slaves took over an abandoned British fort in Florida, along with a few Indian allies. In addition to encouraging other chimps to runaway, they ambushed a party of U.S. sailors and killed four of them, burning one alive. The U.S. finally got fed up, and Andrew Jackson sent troops and some gunboats to capture the fort. The chimps didn't know how to use YT's artillery that the British had left at the fort, and so didn't put up effective resistance. During the bombardment, a hot shot cannonball hit the fort's powder magazine, which exploded. Nearly 300 niggers were immediately deleted and the entire fort destroyed.
