from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Juanillo rebellion of Guale - Indians under Juanillo against the Spaniards took place on 13 September 1597 the Spanish Florida , now the US state of Georgia instead.

First, the Guale killed Father Pedro de Corpa in the Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe de Tolomato Mission, McIntosh County, Georgia. Father Blas Rodrigues of the Tupiqui Mission was killed three days later. In the days that followed , Father Miguel de Auñon and Father Antonio de Badajoz were beaten to death with clubs in the Guale Mission on St. Catherines Island, Liberty County . Francisco de Veráscola was killed by the Santo Domingo de Asao Mission on St. Simons Island (Guadalquini) in Glynn County . Francisco Dávila of the Talapo Mission in McIntosh County has been captured. Inspired by their success, around 400 Indians attacked the San Pedro de Mocama Mission on Cumberland Island in Camden County in canoes .

To end the uprising, Governor Canzo ordered 150 infantry soldiers into the crisis area. They destroyed the Guale villages and warehouses, burned the corn in the fields, and destroyed any canoes they found.

Juanillo, the leader of the insurgents, was not killed until a year later during a battle in the village of Yfusinique (St. Simons Island). His scalp was delivered to Governor Canzo in St. Augustine.
