Abstract:
The second of three articles published under the heading \"A Forum: The Virginia-North Carolina Slave Conspiracy of 1802.\" This article disputes Douglas Egerton's thesis from his article, \"'Fly Across the River': The Easter Slave Conspiracy of 1802\", the first article of the series, stating that  the conspiracy did not originate in Halifax County, Virginia, and spread to other Virginia and North Carolina counties, rather, that the 1802 slave conspiracy consisted of a series of unrelated disturbances.
