World History EncyclopediaThere were 250-311 slave revolts in Colonial America and the United States between c. 1663 and c. 1860 as defined by scholar Herbert Aptheker (l. 1915-2003), but, almost certainly, many more that were not reported, as news of an uprising was sometimes suppressed, or the event redefined, to prevent panic among slaveholding communities. #History #StonoRebellion #Gabriel'sRebellion #DenmarkVesey #Slavery #USHistory #HistoryFact https://whe.to/ci/2-2677-en/
Denmark Vesey (c. 1767-1822) was a free Black man living in Charleston, South Carolina, as a carpenter and community leader. #History #DenmarkVesey #Abolitionism #AmericanCivilWar #AntebellumSouth #Slavery #HistoryFact https://whe.to/ci/1-24133-en/
Trevor BurrowsJeremy Schipper - *Denmark Vesey's Bible: The Thwarted Revolt That Put Slavery and Scripture on Trial*
Top-notch so far. Well-documented look at Vesey's use of the bible and, more broadly, the bible around revolts and invocations of the bible in debates about slavery more generally.
But bc of the nature of this topic's sources, doubles as an excellent critical commentary on many of the sources themselves and the limits of our knowledge of the event.
