A gripping and deeply revealing history of the infamous slave
rebellion that nearly toppled New Orleans and changed the course of
American history
In January 1811, five hundred slaves, dressed in military
uniforms and armed with guns, cane knives, and axes, rose up from
the slave plantations around New Orleans and set out to conquer the
city. Their march represented the largest act of armed resistance
against slavery in the history of the United States.
"American Uprising" is the riveting and long-neglected story of
this elaborate plot, the rebel army's dramatic march on the city,
and its shocking conclusion. Daniel Rasmussen illuminates the early
history of New Orleans and provides new insight into the path to
the Civil War and the slave revolutionaries who fought and died for
justice and the hope of freedom.
