black history month: nat turner

2/23/2019

Enslaved African American Nat Turner led an effective rebellion with fellow slaves in Southampton County, Virginia, U.S. in August 1831. The rebels gathered guns and horses and went to each plantation to free other slaves. These actions led to new harsher laws and solidified pro-slavery. After the rebellion, Turner hid for almost two months, but he was discovered in Virginia and was hung with 16 of his followers.

It's unfortunate that we only mentioned that he was caught and hung along with 16 of his followers, while these brothers killed 51 white slave owners as per Wikipedia. It's important to show that his movement meant something for the morale of his people at that time despite the wide open repression on them.

Yeah except it's all made up. Their were similar crimes where people were hung and also photography back then and yeah no accurate picture of Nat turner existed and he supposedly killed that many whites around this time somehow? With the houses country miles apart and he wasn't hung for it like all the others?? And how does an "African" hide amongst "natives" when natives look Asian today?? I think historical lies and made up stories are the worst especially because the guy that created this story to solve his gambling debts already confessed Nat turner was a character in his pamphlet that he wanted to create into a book but the government bout out his story. Now the truth is out and the slave trade wasn't told the way it really happened and it turns out that the "African Americans" are the indigenous Americans called American Indians NOT NATIVES which the name native didn't show up until the native American political party known as the know nothing's along with the son of Uncle Sam. Yeah we know our history now and we can't be lied too any more F the United States

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is [email protected] and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him

While this is an old post, the photo you have is incorrect. That is not Nat Turner. There are no known photos of Nat Turner. Photography was just beginning to get started in the early 1800s any was not commonly used at that point.

The photograph you have in this blog is of a noted scientist named Henry Charles Turner who was born about 30 years after Nat Turner was executed. It’s imperative that we make sure we post correct information. This blog and the photo was picked up by a news station and it was broadcast with this incorrect photo. I’m sure the television station thought if the NAACP has this photograph posted this person must be that Turner, but it is not Nat Turner.

I became aware of the error via a YouTube video posted recently by a prominent genealogist to remind us that we must always be mindful of what we see to make sure that it is correct. She contacted the news station to let them know that this was not a photograph of Nat Turner. I’m sure they were embarrassed, and if you googled image of Nat Turner you will find several line drawings that depict him which may or may not be accurate.

You may want to ask a local historian from one of your universities to work with you regarding this correction. Remember always doublecheck before you post. Best regards.

When the man I love broke my heart, I felt something did left me because I wasn't myself anymore. I had gone to several places for help and counseling yet, I got no results. Until I found [email protected] and I was introduced to Dr Muna by text +2347035449257. I explained my marriage issues with Dr Muna. I’m glad I trusted him by doing all he requested. He performed a spiritual cleansing to banish negative energies that was battling against the joy in my home and then casted a love spell. After 72 hours, the man I was missing began to call and after our conversation, he texted how much he badly misses me too. He apologized for leaving me in the dark and we got back together again.
