George Boxley
George Boxley was a white storekeeper who, while living in Spotsylvania, Virginia, allegedly tried to coordinate a local slave rebellion on March 6, 1815, based on "heaven-sent" orders to free the slaves. Boxley escaped from Virginia and fled to Ohio and Indiana, where he helped runaway slaves and taught the principles of abolitionism.
