 A Rumor of Revolt: The "Great Negro Plot"In March of 1741, New York was burning. And by the time the reckoning was finished, thirteen blacks were burned at the stake, four whites were hanged, and another seventeen blacks were hanged with them. The issue of race and the justice system is one that is in constant debate--from simply fair treatment of the law all the way to capital punishment. In A RUMOR OF REVOLT: THE "GREAT NEGRO PLOT" IN COLONIAL NEW YORK, Associate Professor T. J. Davis explores the events surrounding the fire that consumed Manhattan in 1741 and the justice at the time. PLEASE NOTE: ALL REMAINING INVENTORY HAS BEEN REPURCHASED.
