| Description: | George Boxley was a resident of Spotsylvania County, Virginia. But in the early 1800s, his antislavery attitude was not welcome. In 1816,
Boxley was accused of inciting a slave rebellion, and the penalty was hanging. But the only witnesses against Boxley were slaves, and under Virginia law at the time, a black person's testimony was inadmissible as evidence against a white man.
