The Revolt of Lecap

By august 20 seventh, the slave armies, and they were now truly becoming armies, were estimated at ten thousand strong. Governor blancheland and the colonial assembly wasted no time preparing to defend the city from inevitable attack. The residence of licap then grew incredibly paranoid about all the slaves in their midst. Free citizens believed that even the most loyal slaves were now about to murder them all in their beds. So any slave even slightly suspected was just executed. On august 20 fifth, a hundred slaves were patched in a single mass execution, all very public and all designed to keep the rest in line.
