He planned the pivotal event of his life for August 30, 1800, when he hoped to lead an army of several thousand on Richmond, Virginia, capture James Madison, and establish an independent black state with himself as king, but a torrential rainstorm dispersed his forces, and before they could reassemble, informants revealed his scheme.
