Cevap
Gabriel Prosser's conspiracy
Gabriel Prosser's conspiracy is the correct answer. In the summer of 1800, Gabriel Prosser, an enslaved blacksmith in Richmond, Virginia, planned a large-scale rebellion to capture the governor and demand the abolition of slavery. On the scheduled night of the rebellion, a torrential rainstorm washed out roads and bridges, delaying the attack, during which time two enslaved men informed their enslaver of the plot, leading to the arrest and execution of Prosser and his co-conspirators.
