Studies in American History: A Documented History of Gullah Jack Pritchard and the Denmark Vesey Slave Insurrection of 1822 by Susan R. Silverman and Lois A. Walker (2001, Hardcover)
The Denmark Vesey slave revolt of 1822 was one of the biggest slave revolts ever planned, involving an estimated 9,000 slaves. The plot was discovered two days before the scheduled uprising. In the aftermath, over 100 slaves were arrested and 35 slaves were executed, one of which was Gullah Jack Pritchard. He recruited his fello Angolan countrymen by promising them protection with the magic charms he distributed. His cunning, persuasion and knowledge of African religion induced many to enlist in the ill-fated revolt. This work details the importance of Gullah Jack in the insurrection.
