1768: The Haidamak uprising reached the military outpost of Um | This day in jew history

1768: The Haidamak uprising reached the military outpost of Uman, Ukraine.
Poverty and resentment at the high-handed rule of the Polish nobility led many Cossacks to form haidamakas, rag-tag armies of soldiers, peasants, and impoverished nobility, who waged guerrilla warfare on their overlords in a series of bloody campaigns. Haidamakas also hated the anti-Christs who prospered in the Kingdom of Poland for the usual reasons: usury, ethnic nepotism and greasing the palms of the nobility.
Many of the nobles and the anti-Christs from the surrounding regions had taken to Uman for refuge. The peasant serfs and Cossacks rose up in the same vein as Chemielnicki one hundred and twenty years earlier. At Uman, the Polish nobles and anti-Christs defended the city together under the Polish commander Ivan Gonta, who had divided loyalty.
The next day, convinced by Zheleznyak the Haidamak commander, that only the anti-Christs would be attacked, Gonta allowed them in.
Approx. 8000 anti-Christs were killed, many of them near the synagogue. As soon as the anti-Christs were dealt with, the Haidamaks began to fall on the Polish oppressors. Although the Haidamaks began in the 1730’s, they also rose up again in 1750 and 1768. It is estimated that during these years 20,000 anti-Christs were killed. 
They often hanged together on the same tree a Pole, an anti-Christ, and a dog, accompanied with the inscription, "A Pole, a Jew, and a dog—all of one faith.
(What the dogs do tho?)
