Description
Vesey would have raided Charleston, South Carolina, killed all whites except for ship captains, and led former slaves to freedom in either Haiti or Africa. A biography of this largely forgotten leader reveals that his plans, his leadership during the revolt, and his subsequent trial and execution had far-reaching consequences.
