In 1800, an enslaved man named Gabriel, who was a skilled blacksmith, started making swords and bullets out of metal. He recruited many other slaves throughout the state of Virginia, and they planned to attack their white owners on the night of August 30, 1800. Unfortunately for them, it rained heavily that night and they had to postpone their attack to a later date. Before they could actually carry out the attack, their plot was discovered. The slaves who had plotted the rebellion were arrested and tried, and Gabriel and twenty-five other slaves were executed.
