Gabriel s Rebellion
tells the dramatic story of what was perhaps the
most extensive slave conspiracy in the history of the American South. Doug¬
las Egerton illuminates the complex motivations that underlay two related
Virginia slave revolts: the first, in
1800,
led by the slave known as Gabriel;
and the second, called the Easter Plot, instigated in
1802
by one of his
followers. Although Gabriel has frequently been portrayed as a messianic,
Samson-like figure, Egerton shows that he was a literate and highly skilled
blacksmith whose primary goal was to destroy the economic hegemony of
the merchants, the only whites he ever identified as his enemies.
According to Egerton, the social, political, and economic disorder of the
Revolutionary era weakened some of the harsh controls that held slavery
in place during colonial times. Emboldened by these conditions, a small
number of literate slaves
—
most of them highly skilled artisans
—
planned
an armed insurrection aimed at destroying slavery in Virginia. The intricate
scheme failed, as did the Easter Plot that stemmed from it, and Gabriel
and many of his followers were hanged. By placing the revolts within the
broader context of the volatile political currents of the day, Egerton chal¬
lenges the conventional understanding of race, class, and politics in the
early days of the American republic.
Douglas R. Egerton, professor of history at
Le
Moyne College, is author of
Charles Fenton Mercer and the Trial of National Conservatism.
