| Summary | "An Account of the Late Intended Insurrection among a Portion of the Blacks of this City" is a historical account published in the early 19th century. It chronicles the events surrounding a planned slave insurrection in Charleston, detailing the investigations, trials, and outcomes following the plot. The narrative provides insights into the motivations behind the insurrection, the responses from city officials, and the legal and social ramifications of the uprising. The opening of the text begins with a notification from the city council, requesting an account of an attempted insurrection sparked by rumors of a revolt among enslaved people in Charleston. The dialogue presents an exchange between a slave and his master about a frightening conversation overheard at the market, leading to the rapid involvement of local authorities. As the narrative progresses, it touches on the preparations for the uprising, the identification of key conspirators, and the initial arrests. Through testimonies and confessions gathered in the subsequent investigations, a complex picture of the insurrection emerges, illustrating the tensions of the time and the attempts to maintain social order amidst fear and unrest.
