Denmark Vesey
On July 2, 1882, Denmark Vesey, A Carpenter Of West Indian Origin, Was Hanged, Along With Five Co-conspirators, For Planning A Slave Rebellion.
For Four Years, Vesey, A Free Black, Had Been Organizing More Than 1,000 Slaves And Stockpiling Weapons And Ammunition, To Take Over Charleston, South Carolina On The Second Sunday In July, 1822.
Authorities Learned Of The Plot Before Hand, From Two House Slaves. In The End, 36 People Were Executed And Many Others Were Kicked Out Of The State.
The Vesey Conspiracy Disproved The Theory That Slaves Were Docile, Passive Beings Who Were Content With Their Situation.
