“Over a few weeks in 1741, ten fires blazed across Manhattan. With each new fire, panicked whites saw more evidence of a slave uprising. Thirteen black men were burned at the stake and seventeen were hanged, four whites, the alleged ringleaders of the plot, were also hanged, and seven more were pardoned on condition that they never set foot in New York again.” In a narrative rich with period detail and vivid description, Jill Lepore pieces together the events and the thinking that led white New Yorkers to make “bonfires of the Negroes.” She reconstructs the harsh past of a city that slavery built - and almost destroyed.

The institution of slavery played a central role in the history of New York City. Indeed, in portions of the 17th and 18th centuries, the largest urban slave population in North America was located in N.Y. and even as slavery declined in N.Y. proper, commercial, political, and cultural connections to slavery remained due to connections to the slave-holding southern states. The New York Historical Society organized two exhibitions: “Slavery in New York” and “Commerce and Conscience: Slavery and New York, 1815-1865,” both opening in 2005. This work serves as a companion to both exhibitions.
