Explanation:
Denmark Vesey was born as a slave in Denmark. After winning a lottery, he bought his freedom for $600. The moment he was set free, he focused on helping the other slaves to be free. He planned on having a revolt by recruiting many slaves. However, his plan did not materialize because two of the slaves were traitors. They told their masters about his plan. Vesey and his men were then caught and charged of conspiracy and were, later on, hanged. After that event, the laws placed on African Americans in South Carolina became stricter.
