2 jul 1822 año - Denmark Vessey's Slave Rebellion

Descripción:

More than 1,000 free and enslaved black people intended to be a part of this uprising which was planned for sometime in July 1822. Denmark Vesey, a free black carpenter and Methodist leader, used his position to organize people who were especially angry about the recent decision to suppress their African Church. South Carolina authorities moved swiftly once the plot was uncovered and Vesey and 36 of his co-conspirators were hanged after a dubious trial. Their executions were accompanied by a massive demonstration of support from defiant free and enslaved black people that prompted local militia and Federal troops to step in.
