In 1795, rumors of a slave conspiracy in Pointe Coupee Parish reached New Orleans. Through slave informers, officials were told of a planned revolt centered on the plantation of the prominent colonist Julien Poydras. Wasting no time, Carondelet led an investigation of the slave conspirators and their free supporters. The inquiry resulted in sixty convictions. Twenty-three of the slave conspirators were sentenced to be hanged. After their deaths, their heads were severed from their bodies and placed on pikes (spikes) along the River Road to serve as a warning to other slaves who might have similar ideas. –From Louisiana: Our History, Our Home
