How Did African Americans Revolted

Throughout African Americans enslavement there were many resists and revolts, slaves wanted freedom and abolition to slavery. Many slaves rebelled, revolted, and did everything they possibly could to be free from their masters. Slaves like Denmark Vesey, Nat Turner, Charles Deslondes, and many more have revolted, rebelled, and conspired to abolish slavery. The enslaved African Americans revolted either individually or in groups to fight for their freedom. Slaves in the U.S were very persistent and used many different strategies to rebel and revolt.

One of the many ways in which slaves revolted were through group conspiracies. For example, a freed African American Denmark Vesey from Charlestown, South Carolina was founded to conspire with 36 other African Americans to kill every white person they possibly could. Denmark Vesey was sought out to be the ringleader for the revolt “the rising” in June 1822. Denmark Vesey’s purpose was to kill all the slaveholders and have the slaves freed. In order for this revolt to be successful thousands of slaves in the city were needed to participate but before the revolt could happen, the city officials had found out and executed Denmark Vesey and the other slaves involved.
Nat turners plan was to steal horses, be armed with weapons, free the slaves, and kill white people. This rebellion resulted in the death of fifty one white people. Nat Turner has had the biggest revolt led by any slave in the South of the United States. Nat turner was convicted and killed two months after hiding. In this revolt hundreds of African Americans were murdered by mobs and militias. Due to this revolt, the law restricting education to all African Americans had been passed and due to the fact that many white people are scared of African Americans revolting, white ministers must be present at all worship
