"Robertson details the aftermath of the failed insurrection, including Vesey's trial and execution, and analyzes its social and political consequences. In the slaveholding South, it intensified whites' fear of blacks and led to increased levels of cruelty and repression. Vesey's revolt was invoked by Frederick Douglass, exhorting black troops during the Civil War; it prefigured Marcus Garvey's "back to Africa" movement; and it established black churches as centers of political activity - a role they would play more than a century later in the nonviolent civil rights movement."--BOOK JACKET.
