name unknown Negro Fiend

What’s the first woman-led slave revolt you uncovered? A woman led a revolt in what’s now Queens [in New York City]. It was in the city of Newtown, which is [now] Elmhurst. She led a revolt and she was captured. She was burned at the stake and the men who were involved in the revolt were hanged. And I would love to tell you her name, but it’s not preserved. She was referred to as the “Negro Fiend,” so that’s what I call her. see https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/women-led-slave-revolts
