New York Slave Revolt of 1712 : ウィキペディア英語版 | New York Slave Revolt of 1712
The New York Slave Revolt of 1712 was an uprising in New York City, in the British Province of New York, of 23 enslaved Africans who killed nine whites and injured another six. More than three times that number of blacks, 70, were arrested and jailed. Of these, 27 were put on trial, and 21 convicted and executed. ==Events== While in the early 1700s, New York had one of the largest slave populations of any of England’s colonies, slavery in New York differed from some of the other colonies because there were no large plantations.〔("Slave Revolt of 1712", Mapping the African American Past, Columbia University )〕 Enslaved Africans lived near each other, making communication easy. They also often worked among free blacks, a situation that did not exist on most plantations. Slaves in the city could communicate and plan a conspiracy more easily than among those on plantations. They were kept under abusive and harsh conditions, and naturally resented their treatment.〔(Africans in America/Part 1/New York's Revolt of 1712 ) accessed January 5, 2008.〕 The men gathered on the night of April 6, 1712, and set fire to a building on Maiden Lane near Broadway.〔 While the white colonists tried to put out the fire, the enslaved African Americans, armed with guns, hatchets, and swords, attacked them and ran off.〔(Hunter, Robt., in ''Documents Relative to the Colonial History of the State of New York'', E.B. Callaghan, ed (1885) )〕
