gabriel prosser's revolt  

Definition(s)

  • Gabriel Prosser was an enslaved African who was born in approximately 1775 in Henrico County, Virginia, and belonged to Thomas Henry Prosser, owner of the Brookfield Plantation on which Gabriel Prosser lived. Gabriel Prosser has been described as literate and religious; he was also a skilled blacksmith, which allowed him to leave the plantation more frequently than unskilled Africans could.
