During the summer of 1800, slaves in Richmond conspired to overthrow slavery. This book uses Gabriel's Conspiracy to expose the processes through which Virginians of African descent built an oppositional culture. Sidbury also portrays the multiple, sometimes conflicting, senses of identity that emerged among the residents.
