In 1822, thirty-four slaves and their leader, a free black man
named Denmark Vesey, were tried and executed for their alleged plot
to murder the white citizens of Charleston, South Carolina.
Presenting a vast collection of contemporary documents that support
or contradict the "official" story, the editors of this volume
annotate the texts and interpret the evidence. This is the
definitive account of a landmark event that spurred the South to
secession and holds symbolic meaning today-as evidenced by the 2015
shooting that took place in Emanuel AME Church, a church Vesey had
attended. This volume argues that the Vesey plot was one of the
most sophisticated acts of collective slave resistance in the
history of the United States.
