The correct answer is C. In the Stono Rebellion, slaves utilized their large numbers to organize an escape attempt.

Explanation:

The Stono Rebellion was one of the earliest known slave rebellions in the United States. On September 9, 1739, a group of South Carolina slaves gathered at the Stono River (whence the name of the uprising comes) to plan an armed demonstration for their own freedom.

On September 9, 1739, twenty African-American Carolinians, led by the Angolan slave Jemmy, met on the Stono River, a few miles southwest of Charleston, South Carolina. They traveled along the road with a sign with the text "Liberty", and they sang unison the same word. They seized weapons and ammunition at a store on Stono Bridge, where they also killed two shop assistants. They raised a flag and continued south toward Spanish Florida, a well-known refugee area for escaped slaves. They gathered more recruits along the way and ended up with 80 men. They burned seven plantations and killed 20 white people. South Carolina's Deputy Governor, William Bull, and four of his friends rode into the group by mistake. Bull fled and warned other slave owners. They harbored a mob of plantation and slave owners and set out to look for Jemmy and his successors.  

The next day armed militia captured the escaped slaves. Twenty white Carolinians and forty-four of the slaves died during the fighting, before the uprising was finally defeated. The captured slaves were then decapitated, and their heads nailed on poles along the road between the battlefield and Charles Town.
