The plan called for several hundred participants (advised by a veteran from the successful siege at Yorktown) to gather at a spot outside Richmond. The violent downpour washed out the proposed attack on the state capitol at Richmond, allowed time for word of the plan to leak to white authorities, and foiled what could have become a brilliant move in the dangerous chess game to force an end to slavery. But on the chosen day-Saturday, August 30-a hurricane destroyed bridges and flooded roads. He sketched out an elaborate plan to overthrow the slavery regime, and it came within hours of execution. Gabriel Prosser worked in secret during 1800 to recruit and organize thousands of enslaved Virginians. According to testimony in subsequent trials, from two to ten thousand African Americans knew of the design and looked to Gabriel as their leader to, in Solomon’s words, “conquer the white people and possess ourselves of their property.” The insurrectionists intended to spare Methodists, Quakers, and local Frenchmen because of their emancipationist leanings, and they expected poor whites and nearby Catawba Indians to join their cause when it gathered strength.
