Gabriel Prosser, a literate slave from Virginia, played a crucial role in leading a major slave rebellion in the U.S. He sought to create an all-Black state with himself as the ruler. Prosser’s leadership in this uprising was a significant turning point in the struggle against slavery in colonial America. However, he was captured, condemned to death by hanging, and his legacy endures as a symbol of resistance and opposition to the cruel institution of slavery.
