Set against the backdrop of 1861, a group of enslaved individuals in Mississippi attempted to escape their bondage through a daring conspiracy that ultimately led to brutal repercussions. The discovery of their plot resulted in the execution and severe punishment of many slaves. In 1971, Winthrop D. Jordan uncovered a previously unexamined transcript detailing the testimonies of these conspirators. This work offers a thorough analysis of those findings, shedding light on a significant yet often overlooked chapter in the struggle for freedom.
