 Gabriel (rebel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gabriel was a skilled flsmith who mostly "hired out" his time in Richmond foundries, a common practice during this period when the market for tobacco was depressed, soil depleted, and cotton not yet a major cash crop.
Gabriel was turned in by a slave "hired out" to work on the ship, who hoped to obtain a sufficient reward to purchase his own freedom.
Gabriel had been able to plan the rebellion so well because of relatively lax rules of movement between plantations; as a result, many owners greatly restricted the slaves' rights of travel when not working.

 Splendid Magazine reviews Joshua Gabriel: Movement No. II: R For the NM
Joshua Gabriel is one of those guys who is possessed of a vision, who knows what he wants to hear and By God is going to create it.
Gabriel is a turntablist/multi-instrumentalist who leans heavily on soulful vocal samples and constantly-changing instrumentation, builds, digressions and loops in order to create a very original sound in a genre that is filled with ripoffs of ripoffs of ripoffs.
Gabriel creates music that hangs together and produces a fully enfleshed image; you can get a sense of him by imagining a one-man Avalanches who doesn't bother with the melodies.

Gabriel’s art, in whatever medium, consists of giving his obsessions free rein (a track on his first CD and his award-winning short film are both titled "Get Addicted").
Gabriel’s songs are structured with a regularity and symmetry like that of classical music, probably reflecting his childhood and teenage training in classical piano and guitar.
Gabriel’s work, with its touches of sitars and snippets of what could be overheard music or conversation, seems a little more "street" in a literal, not roughneck, sense.

Gabriel's Rebellion: The Virginia Slave Conspiracies of 1800 and 1802, by Douglas R. Egerton.
Most of all, the Gabriel who engineered a complex conspiracy with branches in at least three Virginia cities was no apolitical servant but a literate artisan whose breadth of vision was truly international.
But Gabriel's short life— and the chain of events he precipitated—were dramatic, and it would be a nearly criminal act if the story did not unfold for the reader as it did for those who lived through it.

 Film as Art: Danél Griffin's Guide to Cinema
Unfortunately, Gabriel’s method, and the main premise of the movie, is silly and contrived: To combat God, Gabriel must find the darkest soul on earth to aid him, and he finds it in a deceased American general who served the Korean War and massacred thousands of innocent people.
Gabriel is not evil; he is simply driven to rage at God, and he’s taking it out on Him in the same way that he served Him: By being an angel of death and war.
Gabriel himself is given the film’s best lines, and they reflect his bitterness towards God and humans (the latter who he has cleverly dubbed “talking monkeys”).

Sara interviews that she focused in on Gabriel because “he’s easy to work with, and he can handle a bunch of women.” It’s the first time Sara spoke on this episode, and already she’s pissing me off.
