Cevap
The correct answer is the option stating that Vesey and his co-conspirators relied on biblical stories of liberation, particularly the Exodus, alongside inspiration and strategies drawn from the Haitian Revolution.
The correct answer is correct because Denmark Vesey, a free Black man who co-founded an African Methodist Episcopal (AME) congregation in Charleston, utilized biblical scriptures (specifically the Book of Exodus) to argue against the morality of slavery and to justify rebellion. Furthermore, he and his lieutenants studied and shared news of the Haitian Revolution to prove that black people could successfully defeat white enslavers and secure their own freedom.
