"

Maria was a cook at the plantation St. Maria, owned by the Dutch West India Company, where she prepared the newly captured Africans to be sold into slavery. On 15 September 1716, the enslaved people of the plantation rebelled and killed some of the white staff, including women and children.[citation needed] Within 10 days the rebellion was subdued by the military from Willemstad. Her lover, an enslaved man named Tromp, stated under torture that Maria had planned the rebellion as she wanted revenge on the overseer Muller, who was responsible for the death of her spouse.[2]
