As your introduction, summarize the book New York Burning. Basically, explain what the book is about
and major assertions made by the author. After your introduction, provide an overview of the 1741 slave
rebellion plot in New York City. In the next two or three paragraphs, explain how the 1741 compares with other slave revolts or plots in American history, especially those mentioned in your main textbook, African American Odyssey.
Are you entirely convinced there was an actual slave rebellion plot in New York City in 1741, or was this
mainly the product of what one historian has called the “paranoid style”? In other words, I want you to argue whether or not the 1741 was a true rebellion plot or something fabricated by anxious whites in New York City.
