Answer: D. Vesey had purchased his freedom after winning the lottery.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denmark Vasey was a African American leader in the early 19th century who was born into slavery but was able to buy his freedom when he won a lottery.

In 1822, he was accused of a conspiracy to organize a slavery revolt that would have seen thousands of African Americans killing slave owners in South Carolina and then sailing to Haiti. They had him executed at the age of 55 for this alleged crime.
