Continue listening to the radio interview about the Slave Revolt of 1811. You can follow along with the transcript below.

RAZ: Daniel Rasmussen, why don't we know about this story? We know about Nat Turner. We know about John Brown. This was the largest slave revolt in American history, but we haven't known much about it since now.

RASMUSSEN: It's shocking. It's one of the most significant moments of political amnesia in our nation's history, the largest slave revolt. And today, here in January 2011, is the bicentennial of the revolt. Yet, this story is almost entirely absent from textbooks and history books. Why? As soon as it happened, the planters killed 100 slaves, put their heads on poles, and sought to write the slaves out of history.

According to Rasmussen, why was the slave revolt a "hidden" story?

A. It was not a large enough event to attract much attention.
B. It was more of a peaceful demonstration than a true slave revolt.
C. It was largely a failure, unlike other significant slave revolts.
D. The enslaved people were called criminals in records, not rebels.
