Please HELP WITH THE Q!!!!!?

Question

In 1741 African americans conspired to burn the city. The conditions of slave life in 1740s made it likely that many ensalved NewYorkers would have endorsed such a plot.

Would you agree w/ this statement? Why? Please help thank you!!!

Answer 1

There is no evidence that this was something other enslaved people or most enslaved New Yorkers would have gone along with this plot.
It was basically agreed that this was a result of poorer whites, enslaved blacks being used and sold at auctiton in New York, mostly from the Caribbean and Catholics who led this rebellion.
It is definitely not shown that the majority of enslaved New Yorkers would be willing to see their city burned to the ground with no clear benefit.

Answer 2

The New York Slave Insurrection, also known as the Great ***** Plot of 1741 or The Great New York Conspiracy of 1741, is the name given to a supposed plot by slaves and poor Whites in the British colony of New York in 1741 to revolt and level New York City with a series of fires.
In March and April of 1741, a series of fires erupted in Lower Manhattan, the most significant one within the walls of Fort George, the home of the governor at the time. After another fire, this time at a warehouse, a slave was arrested after having been seen fleeing it. Two others were also arrested at this time, one of whom was a 16-year old white indentured servant, Mary Burton. In exchange for her freedom, she testified against the others as participants in a supposedly growing conspiracy of poor Whites and Blacks to burn the city, kill the White Men, take the White women for themselves, and elect a new King and Governor.
The two slaves were burned at the stake, and with "fire licking at their feet", confessed to burning the fort. They also named fifty others as co-conspirators. News of the "conspiracy" set off a stampede of arrests. At the height of the hysteria, nearly half the city's male slaves over sixteen were in jail. The number of arrests totaled 152 Blacks and twenty Whites. They were tried and convicted in a show trial. A supposed Catholic priest, John Ury, was suspected of instigating it.[1]
Most of the convicted were hanged or burnt- how many is uncertain. The bodies of two supposed ringleaders, one Black and one White, were gibbeted. Their corpses were left to rot in public. Seventy-two were deported from New York, sent to Newfoundland and to various islands in the West Indies and the Madeiras.

Answer 3

I would disagree. Because Hillary would never have allowed slavery to happen in New York.
