description: Originally published in 1964 as Insurrection in South The Turbulent World of Denmark Vesey, this book remains what John Hope Franklin originally declared "Easily the most definitive account in print of a single slave plot. But it is more than that. It is excellent social history of South Carolina in the early nineteenth century and a most revealing analysis of the political and economic system that created the turbulent world of Denmark Vesey.
