Black and white indentured servants planned a rebellion in Gloucester County, Virginia, but their plans were discovered before execution [6]. Colonial authorities executed the leaders of the planned uprising, demonstrating the harsh response to any challenge against the slave system [6]. This event represents early resistance to bondage that crossed racial lines among the oppressed.
