Right on the scaffold, or The martyrs of 1822 [electronic resource] / Grimké, Archibald Henry, 1849-1930.
In this volume Grimke tells the story of Denmark Vesey, a freed, literate slave and a respected community member of Charleston, South Carolina. Vesey became convinced that the slaves were God's chosen people, like the Jews of the Old Testament, and led an unsuccessful insurrection against white slaveholders that resulted in dramatic trials and executions.
