Last week we heard from the enslaved Louisiana rebels who secretly organized the largest revolt in U.S. history. In this episode Michael enlists the help of Investigator Helena Crane to cut through history's white lies and get to the Black ass truth of the rebellion. They discover how the plan was enacted, who else was there, and why violence was the goal of that bloody German Coast uprising of 1811.
