The political and public scene ignored the economic disparities of the colony and focused on the issue of race because the ruling elite feared a large black population more numerous than her. Furthermore, media coverage of the rebellion reflected Britain's keen interest in racial politics and its links to empire. Therefore, this project illustrates how race and class intersect on a micro and macro scale linking the colonial enterprise to the British metropolis. Thus, it is possible to conclude that the Morant Bay Rebellion laid the foundations for massive public criticism of colonialism, which threatened the stability of the country.
