Denmark Vesey (1767-1822), an African American who fought to liberate his people from slavery, planned an abortive slave insurrection. The revolt, which was scheduled to occur on July 14, 1822, was betrayed before it could be put into effect. As rumors of the plot spread, Charleston was thrown into a panic. Leaders of the plot were rounded up. Vesey and 46 other were condemned, and even four whites were implicated in the revolt. On June 23 Vesey was hanged on the gallows for plotting to overthrow slavery.

Gabriel Prosser, Denmark Vesey, and Nat Turner were all prominent figures in the history of slave resistance in the United States. They each led planned rebellions against the institution of slavery, fueled by their desire for freedom and equality. Their actions highlighted the systemic injustices faced by enslaved people and inspired future movements for civil rights. Despite their ultimate failure, their legacies continue to resonate in discussions about resistance and social justice.
