Cuffy, also known as Kofi Badu (died in 1763), was an African Akan man who was enslaved in the Dutch colony of Berbice in present-day Guyana. In 1763, he led a major slave revolt of around 5,000 slaves against the Dutch. The slave revolt was eventually suppressed and Cuffy committed suicide. Today, he is a national hero in Guyana.
== Early life == Cuffy was born in the 18th century in what is now southern Ghana (then part of the broad area known as Guinea (region). At some point he was captured into slavery and sent across the ocean as part of the Atlantic slave trade. He was sent to Guyana, where he and many other African slaves were made to work on Dutch plantations.
