Answer:

two examples are Nat Turner and Denmark Vesey

Explanation:

Nat Turner:"In the morning hours of August 22, Nat Turner and his group murdered their master and his family. After swelling in size to about 60 slaves by afternoon, with more killing and a face-off with a white posse, the group scattered, and Virginia prepared for war. In the aftermath, about 60 slaves were executed. Turner hid in a hole for a month and a half before discovery. Brought to trial, he was hanged a week later."

Denmark Vesey: "In the 17th and 18th centuries, Jamaica, a British colony with many sugar plantations, was the frequent scene of revolts. One of the most notable took place in 1760; an uprising of hundreds of slaves, led by an enslaved man named Tacky, inspired others across the island during the same period. The only free person to lead a rebellion was Denmark Vesey, an urban artisan of Charleston, South Carolina. Vesey’s rebellion (1822) was to have involved, according to some accounts, as many as 9,000 slaves from the surrounding area, but the conspiracy was betrayed in June before the plan could be effected."
