Continue listening to the radio interview about the Slave Revolt of 1811. You can access it here. You can follow along with the transcript below. RAZ: Daniel, what was the overall plan? I mean, they were headed towards New Orleans. What were they going to do?
RASMUSSEN: You know, it's hard to say what exactly they intended. But if we look at other revolts, contemporaneous revolts, revolts that happened in 1812 in Cuba, for example, or, you know, what happened in Haiti, I think we can get a much more clear picture of what the slaves would have intended.
RAZ: What they intended to do, yeah.
RASMUSSEN: And that is the establishment of a black republic, an independent black republic on the shores of the Mississippi River.
RAZ: What's fascinating in the book, the way you describe it, is this contingent of slaves, as they make their way towards New Orleans, they gather, they collect more and more—more and more slaves come out of plantations to join them. The ranks swell to 500, as you describe.
They never make it to New Orleans, and of course, we don't want to give away too much of the story, they are routed and defeated by a small contingent of American soldiers along with plantation owners.
The result is bloody and brutal.
