13 Apr 1822 Jahr - Vesey Revolt

Beschreibung:

"In South Carolina, Denmark Vesey, a freeman, is accused of organizing 'the rising'--a potential massive slave revolt.

Although the plot was uncovered before any slaves escaped to freedom in Haiti, alleged conspirators were hanged. Fearful that the African American churches supported the revolt, authorities destroyed independent black churches in Charleston. African Americans did not establish independent congregations again until after the Civil War."
