- The Great Slave Conspiracy of 1741.
New York slave rebellion of 1741, also called New York Conspiracy of 1741 or the Great Negro Plot of 1741, a supposed large-scale scheme plotted by black slaves and poor white settlers to burn down and take over New York City. Possibly fueled by paranoia, the city's white population became convinced that a major rebellion was being planned. After a witch-hunt-like series of trials, no specific plot was ever uncovered.
