Denmark Vesey was a literate, skilled carpenter and leader of African Americans in Charleston, South Carolina. A slave, Denmark Vesey spent 20 years sailing with his master. In 1800 he purchased his freedom, took up carpentry and prospered at his trade. Although he would later deny it, he allegedly held meetings at his home to collect arms for an uprising he was planning for as many as 9,000 African Americans in South Carolina.

He was executed on July 2 of that year.
