In the end the rebellion backfired much more than it helped slavery. It made it so much harsher laws were passed. For example, "Black people could no longer meet in groups for any reason without the presence of a white person; slaves could not hire out their free time; and, in South Carolina, free blacks over the age of 15 were required to have a white guardian (Sylvester, bio 234-235)" It also made it nearly impossible for a slave to gain freedom and slaves that left the state could not come back in.

Some historians think that the revolt might never have happened and that it was just an excuse to stop AME churches and execute abolitionists like Denmark Vesey and other leaders of black churches.

Denmark Vesey was a man who was born into slavery. He won the lottery and bought his freedom in 1799. He also had a family that he could not buy out of slavery. This was probably a lot of the reason why he planned the rebellion.

Denmark Vesey planned a slave revolt in Charleston, South Carolina on July 14, 1822. The revolt involved thousands of slaves and freed black men and would have been the biggest slave revolt in American history. It made it so there were greater tensions between the north and the south after that which led to the civil war and eventually the end of slavery. Besides this it did almost nothing.

On June 14, 1822, one month before the planned date for the rebellion, a snitch named George Wilson told his master of the plot. He later committed suicide. He was a priest at an AME church like Denmark Vesey but he listened more to the new testament then the old one and believed that he should give them up. He also gained his freedom this way.

Denmark Vesey's revolt caused the hanging of 34 people and himself. He died way before slavery ended. He did not get the rights he should have got from the 6th amendment of the constitution and did not get a fair trial.
