Denmark Vesey: The Buried Story of America's Largest Slave Rebellion and the Man Who Led It
by David M. Robertson
On This Page
Description
Vesey would have raided Charleston, South Carolina, killed all whites except for ship captains, and led former slaves to freedom in either Haiti or Africa. A biography of this largely forgotten leader reveals that his plans, his leadership during the revolt, and his subsequent trial and execution had far-reaching consequences.Tags
