Social History of the American Negro
- Book Review, by Benjamin Griffith Brawley

Book Description
Definitive, scrupulously documented work by a distinguished black historian traces the history of African-Americans from the years of pre-colonial exploration through the turbulent period of slavery, rebellion, "emancipation," and the halting social progress of the early 20th century. Of immense value to students and teachers of American history and all those concerned with the long and difficult struggle for racial equality.

Download Description
In Charleston, South Carolina, in 1822, however, there was planned an insurrection about whose scope there could be no question. The leader, Denmark Vesey, is interesting as an intellectual insurrectionist just as the more famous Nat Turner is typical of the more fervent sort. It is the purpose of the present chapter to study the attempts for freedom made by these two men, and also those of two daring groups of captives who revolted at sea.
