On July 2, 1822, Denmark Vesey was hanged in Charleston, S.C., for his role in planning one of the largest slave uprisings in the United States. During his long, extraordinary life Vesey played many roles-Caribbean field hand, cabin boy, chandlers man, house servant, proud freeman, carpenter, husband, father, church leader, abolitionist, revolutionary. Yet until his execution transformed him into a symbol of liberty, Vesey made it his lifes work to avoid the attention of white authorities. Because he preferred to dwell in the hidden alleys of Charlestons slave community, Vesey remains as elusive as he is today celebrated, and his legend is often mistaken for fact.
In this biography of the great rebel leader, Douglas R. Egerton employs a variety of historical sources-church records, court documents, travel accounts, and newspapers from America and Saint Domingue-to recreate the lost world of the mysterious Vesey. The revised and updated edition reflects the most recent scholarship on Vesey, and a new afterword by the author explores the current debate about the existence of the 1822 conspiracy. If Veseys plot was unique in the annals of slave rebellions in North America, it was because he was unique; his goals, as well as the methods he chose to achieve them, were the product of a hard lifes experience.

I bought the revised edition of 'He Shall Go Out Free' for a book club discussion, and it was enlightening! The American profiles featured in this used copy offer deep insights into the struggle for freedom in America. The condition was better than I expected, only minor wear on the cover. Worth a read!

A Must-Read for History Buffs
Got this for my dad who loves American history, and he couldn’t put it down! The profiles are really engaging and well-written. The used condition was acceptable, but I hoped for a bit better quality. Still, he enjoyed it a lot, and that’s what matters!

Arrived in Poor Condition
I was looking forward to reading this book, but unfortunately, it arrived with some pages torn and the spine was creased badly. I get it’s used, but I didn’t expect it to be this rough. I’ll be looking for a better copy elsewhere.

Great Content, But Not Perfect
The book itself is fantastic, packed with stories that resonate. I do wish the shipping had been faster; it took longer than I anticipated to arrive. The used condition is okay, but I found a few pages with notes from the previous owner which I didn't mind too much.
