Answer: In both of the uprisings slaves were executed.

Explanation:

One way that the uprisings were different is that in the New York uprising slaves did kill some white men. In the Richmond uprising, the slaves never got the chance to kill any men.

In Gabriel's Rebellion, the leader of the slave uprising was Gabriel. His own people turned on him and told their owners. Another slave saw him and the others escaping and turned him in. He was found and returned to Richmond and was then hanged with 23 other slaves.

In the 1912 New York Uprising, The slaves did revolt without being told on and succeeded in killing 9 white men. There was an additional 6 men who were injured during the uprising.

In both instances, there were around the same number of slaves. In Richmond there were 24 and New York 23. However, they charged 70 men in the uprising even though they were not involved. there were 21 slaves who were executed.
