Paul Bogle (1820? - 1865) was a deacon and considered a peaceful man and a Jamaican rebel. As a Christian, he used lessons from the Bible to help his congregation cope with the poverty and social injustices they experienced. At this time in Jamaica's St. Thomas parish, Bogle was one of only 106 men who could vote. A leader of the Morant Bay Rebellion in 1865, Bogle was captured in October 24 and hanged by the authorities of the United Kingdom (Jamaica was a British colony at that time).
