- From
- ERIC V. TAIT, JR.
As the British campaign for a global empire plays out on the North American Continent - Queen Anne's War, The French & Indian Wars, and so on - the stage and stakes for revolts and rebellions continue to increase for the enslaved Africans and their Colonial enslavers. Even as the Colonists edge and stumble towards their own revolution, they grow more paranoid about a possible Black Revolt amongst them. The questionable "Great Negro Conspiracy of 1741" in the City of New York captures it well, and is the cornerstone of Segment #6.
