Just imagine if the Nat Turner revolt or other slave uprisings had gained numbers similar to those of Sparticus' army in the Third Servile War. If 75 slave rebels was enough to make so many people panic, how traumatizing would 120,000 have been?

The Founding fathers should have address the slavery issue more intensively. Independence from Britain should never have been declared without a plan to end this absurd way of life.
To be fair, many believed it was going to die out on its own, which it was leaning towards at the time the decision was made. But with the invention of the cotton gin, it made slave plantations profitable. A little ironic that some people assumed technology would remove the need for slaves, but it only made it more profitable in that case.

Nat Turner was and is most definitely a hero. He stood up for himself and us, urged us to RISE UP. Yes some women and children were killed but keep in mind we did not draw first blood. We rebelled against our brutal, evil oppressors.
Eric Smith little babies that would grow up only to be slavemasters... what do you think the children of slavemasters do? Grow up to work on the railroads? No lol they grow up and receive their parents’ slaves passed down to them. Babies or elderly. They were evil. I’d do the exact same. Put in a predicament like that you have no other choice to feel strong hatred and complete determination to destroy anything in your path for freedom. He’s is the most noble and fearless Black leader to ever step foot on planet earth.
He was no hero,he was a nut case ,with delusions of grandeur ,saw himself a messiah ,who not only condoned and ordered the killing and mutilation of the men but also of their wives and children . these are not actions of a hero these are actions of a madman no different than jim Jones or David koresh using the name of of god as excuse to their insanity

You feel you are owed something because of suffering not your own experiences not your own You hold an entire race responsible fo acts those who bear no guilt in wrong that are not in yours to own you spend Too much time listening windbag Farrakhan just an average run of the mill angry woke black woman
I don't excuse killing babies, but I am not living in Nat's world....He lived in a world without any sort of morals towards himself or other blacks/slaves....can you imagine what he witnessed/suffered? Whites tortured/killed/sold blacks of all ages with impunity. He knew what those "innocent" babies would grow up to become and do to him/his family/his babies....don't you think that affected his own moral compass when he made his decisions? It's hard to judge him without walking a mile in his shoes. I see him as an American Hero who fought for freedom. He did some messed up things, sure....but, find me a revolutionary who didn't.
Gold Wolf I didn't know what to think of Nat Turner for a while. At first, I viewed him as a hero who tried to free his people from oppression. Even if it meant killing(which I'm highly against), but it was a different time then and we have progressed though there still is racism in America and the world, what's new? Then I discovered they also killed children and babies which I'm fondly not a fan of, but then again what human being isn't. However, I remember many great American and other global leaders in the past have done some fucked up shit. So my view of Nat Turner still stands as a hero. Nowadays, what we need is not more killings however, but love, understanding and patience. Treat each other as how we want to be treated. Laugh a little, not take everything so seriously. Live your life! (Sorry for leaving a paragraph I got carried away)
If you entered the house of an SS Nazi and killed him, then you saw a baby lying in a crib, would you kill the baby and throw it in the fire? If your answer is yes, there's something wrong with you, plain and simple. Saying, "The baby would have grown up to be a slaveowner so it's okay to kill it," is the exact same logic used by racists in saying, "Black children will grow up to be criminals so it's okay to try them as adults and put them away for life."
I find it interesting that as a matter of debate, it's being asked if kidnapping, murderous rapists being killed along with their families constitutes an act of monstrosity, whereas the monsters that were killed incited that very action.
@@johngost1505 When you treat a man like an animal. He has every right to react like an animal. Where is your outrage for the Slave owners who used Black babies as alligator bait sir? I'll wait
Really interesting video. Slavery has become a real interest of mine. How any intelligent (White) people could 1) think that slavery was a good idea 2) claim to be good businessmen when they had free labor 3) think that the North was going to tolerate the South continuing to benefit from free labor (forget the moral argument of 'owning' another human being)
@@sparkman1314able do you hear yourself how do make another person human? Are you talking about being civil, we have & always will have codes of conduct/culture! Your a bigot hope you get that fixed..
What about the black people in africa who "sold" other blacks to Europeans? They "taught" them slavery. What about the africans that raided slavic areas and enslaved white people? Or have you never heard that the word "slave" is derived from the word "slav?" If you're going to hold one people accountable, hold "all" people accountable.
To answer your question, I know in my heart Rev. Nat Turner was a HERO on many levels. He at the time of his death would start something that had long been thought of even before he decided to do it. I am one who knows that you can't continue to tell someone that you are less than human when you were and are the first humans on earth!!!
@@jamellfoster6029 Nat Turner made decisions he needed in the world he lived in. You have never lived in that world so your disapproval means nothing. Do you equally disapprove of Black children having been murdered, beaten, raped and enslaved? White children, as far as Turner was concerned, are future slave owners. Since the beginning of history soldiers have killed children so they do not grow up to take revenge. In fact, even in this retelling you heard that slave owners took revenge on 200 Black people who had nothing to do with the rebellion. Do you "disapprove" of that? Why are you choosing to only "disapprove" of the actions of those enslaved? You disrespect his legacy with this nonsense.
@@ChesyaBurke I am against harming kids of any race or ethnicity... Kids are kids & they aren't born racist. Adults instruct kids on how to be racist. Why kill or even kill innocent kids??
I think that the rebellion was necessary for black liberation but I don’t support the murder of the white children. Children are only products of the parents decisions and words, it’s not fair to cut their life short because of your hatred toward the others. Then again I wasn’t alive at the time so I have no idea what I’m talking about
Ok I’ve seen a lot of fighting on this and I’d like to give my two cents. I won’t call Nat Turner a “hero” because he did murder babies, but I will not condemn him. In his situation all he had known was violence and cruelty. He was human and when you’re only exposed only to that kind of treatment you either just get used to it or you break in some way shape or form. Nat Turner broke and the only way out of the abusive hell that is slavery was to fight back. And then if you think about it what Nat did was NOTHING compared to what the hundreds of years of slavery did. This is going to sound bad but a couple white future slaveholding kids dying is less than what is deserved for the thousands of kids forced to wilt away and lose their potential by being enslaved. I don’t want a race war and I don’t think all whites should die but I do think that people who believe that are so far off the moral line. Being (what I like to think) a good person murder is bad always but being a fair person eye for an eye yk. So overall I think everyone is really lucky that most slaves only wanted freedom and not revenge
💪🏾He was on the mission of Moses. He is justified. In every battle of the Old Testament his army was instructed to kill everything including the children.
hands down a mastermind, let down by his own people. I had to read his biography in college, all he miscalculated, was that all his fellow slaves wouldn't join him. If they had joined him, American history would be different. So when Kanye says 400 years? That sounds like a choice. Technically he isn't incorrect; the people, who pussied out, got punished hardcore anyway.
That is part of the lie you were told. If he had gotten to Jerusalem, it would have grown more than just the 300. There were 300 total armed men. half on horseback, half on foot.. 2 commanders.. Hark "Hercules" Moore was the violent one that led half of the group. Henry Nat Turner was the commander that ordered his group to spare poor whites. NILES WEEKLY REGISTER - Fourth Series, Volume IV and Volume XI. BALTIMORE - August 27th, 1831. Titled- THE PAST - THE PRESENT - FOR THE FUTURE. Page 455 right column and page 456 left column, middle paragraph. Proof that the group was larger, but you have to read in extensive detail. Several correspondence, express arriving from Suffolk, from Virginia during 1831 confirm that 300 MEN were indeed the majority of the army, stating the army was headed towards South Quay, presumed trying to reach the Dismal swamp. it even says they repelled the first militia confrontation. Although, the militia blames their retreat on their guns having wet powder due to the rain. Keep reading that article I cited and you will see that even some of the poor Irish were riding with them to do battle over land. Read the part where eyewitness accounts state there were one or two white men involved in the insurrection. So much more to this that people just don't know due to the lies history has spun. Turner's connections with Nottoway Indians, poor whites who were also pissed off about seizing of lands is something that has been hidden by calling Turner just a murderous psycho out for baby blood. Lies. It was a coordinated insurrection that was growing. He was a hero. Only uninformed sheep who believe lies would think otherwise.
Heroes don't murder people in their sleep at 2:00a.m. and slaughter babies, throwing them into fire. People who do that are lower than scum no matter what their reasons are.
That’s your own opinion and perspective on what heroes are supposed to be lol. To many in the black community he is and will be revered as a hero and savior for fighting oppression against evil.
@@almightypower4895 Then that community is "sick." Evil is evil and trying to justify it after the fact is evil as well. If a black baby was killed anywhere for any reason, nothing would sway your opinion, regardless. It's hypocrisy, pure and simple.
Whatever helps you sleep at night buddy. Is your perspective. Color doesn’t matter. What was done is history. Like it or not it happened regardless of your emotional refutations about it. It’s funny when someone’s only logic is to not resist or counter with brute force against oppression for a collective of a certain demographic of people… you can’t expect to oppress the masses and think there will be karma or consequences for ignorant behavior displayed. If you are going to justify slavery then just say that then, because you’re literally wasting your time replying with nonsense if you think blacks weren’t going revolt against wicked people and use pleasant tactics to go about making a statement or liberate themselves.
@@almightypower4895 Slavery was disgusting. I wish it had never happened. However, my problem was with their hate and viciousness, like murdering babies and throwing them into a fire. Those were no heroes. I doubt I would have said anything if it weren't for that. There's no way you can justify that and it proves where the hearts of these people were. It was just about HATE. If someone enslaved me, I'd have hated them too, but not like this. You have to admit it was pretty cowardly to fall upon sleeping people at 2:00a.m. as well. If they had gotten together and found a place of refuge for themselves, I could have respected that, but what they did instead was demonic. It was also stupid, because they only made things harder for other slaves and there was no way they could have won anyways, so it was for nothing. Aside from the baby, it was the hate in the comments that really bothered me. I had no idea that black people still hate white people so much. Every one of them reveled in black people killing white people. They just "loved" it and couldn't praise the murderers enough. It wasn't just about long ago slavery. They are overflowing with hate for white people right "now." The slave-owners and the slaves have been dead for generations. How do you know that you're not a reincarnated slave owner or that some KKK guy isn't a reincarnated slave? It's just "stupid" and "pointless."
Turner and those who fought alongside him were rebelling against heinous acts of rape, murder and torture. If Nat Turner's Rebellion is juxtaposed to the American Revolution, Turner's was an act of self defense that was, in every conceivable way, more justified than the "American Revolution" in which many were killed over raising taxes. Killing motivated by escaping near genocide, or killing motivated by taxes imposed on rich landowners, which of these is murder, really?
Hey man, IDK if you read these comments, but shutout to you, I just got a B in history 1, thanks for making theses videos and breaking these topics down and simplifying them!
Nat’s Army could’ve made it from Cross Keys to the Arms Magazine in Jerusalem… but the kept hitting the Brandy Stills at the farms they raided… upon encountering the first sign of resistance they turned tail and fled all directions to the swamps…
I like how you did this video because others really speak a lot about the terror of slavery and it scares me a lot. I feel like I'm going to have a nightmare from those videos lol.
Nat Turner is an African American hero. In fact, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch, Nat Turner and several other anti slavery / civil rights heros will be honored with a statue in downtown Richmond VA.
@@johngost1505 I don't know. How many enslaved Africans, men, woman, and children did his owner murder, rape, defile, and cannibalize?

@@The10thManRules Turner never even appeared in court. Anyone who actually reads the case in detail would see Thomas R. Gray submitted his own writings, swore he got them from Turner in jail and swore under oath it was a real "testimony". Gray lied under oath 3 times in court. The person who responded to you hypocritically wrote part of a testimony, but totally skipped over the testimony of Jarell Judkins who testified that Turner told the group to spare poor whites. The person who responded to you claimed Turner killed any and all whites and there was no proof otherwise..so did he not read the Judkins testimony or does he count on others not reading it? Turner did NOT kill any babies, nor did he condone the killing of poor whites..lies told by Gray. Zero proof otherwise that Turner authorized it. Watch the liars with agendas.
Henry "Nat" Turner did NOT kill or order the killing of poor whites, per the testimony of Jarell Judkins in court. No one on here can provide one ounce of proof otherwise that isn't dubious. There were 300 armed men, half on foot and half on horseback marching down the street. Most farms or plantations did not have many slaves. There were two commanders, Hark "Hercules" Moore, who was not opposed to killing any and all. The group of 300 men were not under Turner's command until the rendezvous point. They only caught 50 or 60. Everyone on here who claims he killed kids or murdered babies in the crib only rely on the garbage lies told by Thomas R. Gray in court. And I can prove that Gray lied under oath 3 times in court. Liars on here love portraying Henry Nat Turner as a baby murderer, instead of addressing real facts with hard evidence. I challenge anyone on here to find one ounce of proof that Henry Nat Turner killed babies. Only sources are the garbage lies of Thomas R. Gray who lied under oath 3 times in court.

@@christianperkins39 Thank you for providing in depth information. I have always found Nat Turner controversial almost exclusively because of the notion that he ordered the killing of all, including children. Could you please provide some useful historical resources for further reading on the topic?
Is it brutal when someone comes in your house while sleeping have not done anything to anyone and they come and rape kill and still just let them u must be crazy or a blind demon
a line once stated by Tupac stating "killing aint fair but somebody gotta do it" is hugely relevant in the case of Nat Turner and his quest for emancipation.
Rest in "pieces" is more like it. A proper end to someone who slaughters babies and throws them into fire. Is that where you're going to pick up where he left off? Everyone is free and equal but you still feel like murdering babies.
I believe their actions were justified. Though some things were extremely controversial, they did what they had to do in the environment that was presented to them. - Was killing the Slave owners 7 year old son justified? Perhaps not. Though these claims sound a propagandistic, I will continue. The alternative is the child waking up to a blood showered home. the town he grew in probably a similar picture. No one to take care of the child and if any food was present it was eaten by the slaves and their own children who were just being starved and over worked. Was it wrong the kill the infant and burn them? Again, this sounds like some hardcore fear mongering. But again we must look at the alternative. The infant is left alone with no parents, no siblings to take it to help. Left for days screaming in a house with soon to be rotting corpses. How long would this go on? Even if someone where to stumble upon the home and find the infant, who’s to say what intentions this individual has? Think about the time period this is in. Viewing the rebellion of Nat Turner and through this lens, could we say that he was in some kind of way a hero? And in any case when someone is a hero there will always be someone who finds them to be the villain. I find Nat Turners actions admirable considering the conditions presented to him.
I’m Nate Turner I know when I was a child racism is not going no where but people are afarid of you when you know you are Gods chosen people and when you can challenge they coward butts I see a bunch of jealousy passive aggressive people in this world but I’m a successful business owner so success is over your jealousy and I don’t lower myself for nobody if you jealous of my light get away from me cause I’m gonna shine over you no matter what this world taught me a lot but I had a strong family so I know what’s up but still believe and holding on to God in Heaven Nate Turner you are a true ol g
If it wasn't for the evils of slavery,he would've never did what he did!Everyone he killed deserved it,even the devil baby that would've grown up 2 be a slave master.R.I.P Nat Turner,a TRUE HERO.In the afterlife,believe you me,you devils will pay dearly!
They didn’t kill the kids/babies to be edgy or to make a strong statement. They knew that if the kids weren’t killed, they would just inherit the slaves after the adults were killed.
💪🏾He was on the mission of Moses. He is justified. In every battle of the Old Testament his army was instructed to kill everything including the children.
Nat Turner was undoubtedly a Hero, even though the killing of innocents is abhorent, it's the slave owners' faults not to realise that the injustice of slavery have consequences, consequences of which places innocents in danger, the slave owner parents of those children agreed to the evils of slavery and so their youth also perishes due to the evil of their parents, so they had it coming.
May Nat (Turner) spirit live on. His legacy is one of bravery beyond what the human heart could conceive. Even though we die, we live forever. Nat and the Nat family and descendants we honor a great man and even greater warrior. To those to died at your sides, we honor you. Long live Nat Turner. May we speak his name till Christ returns for judgment of us all.
sadly, what they tell us isnt always the whole story. honestly speaking from human nature and my gut. something tells me something beyound wicked happened, for them to kill the child and collectively say "kill em all', 1, 2. to say they were tortured was an understatment. and to know the things they went through after being caught were unthinkable but knowing WHEN you were caught what was gonna happen and STILL be so ready, willing and undeterred tells me from my soul to my gut. THE REASON, of why went beyond slavery but FOR someone else and for what was done to thus person. NO one committes an act of such and have EVERYONE or talk a large percentage into to being apart of it for self fulfilling reasons. people stand firm on the religon side of things they over think and miss the personal side. i dont think those that did what they did, with the hopes or intentions of being free, or living. i feel they did all they could knowing they will die...And that gives you an entirely different mindset
Be followed the commandments of Moses. In every battle in the old testament Moses demanded his army to kill everything including children. Turner was on the mission of Moses. 💪🏾
Nat Turner was a hero who did all things necessary to secure his freedom and carry out his mandate from God. I don't understand people rationalizing why Nat would kill a slave owner but should spare a slave inheritor.The instant a slave owner dies all enslaved people are transferred to a new owner whether is be the wife or the soon to be baby owner. You can't walk free until every person who could own you is dead. Even then, the state will take possession of you and have you sold for tax revenue if no one claims the estate. I think the sympathizers for the slave system simply don't have an in depth understanding of the slave system. Hell, being a free black person still meant you could be subject for enslavement as long as you are following the black laws or avoid getting kidnapped. Just annoys me so much people are so dense, what do they teach in school these days?
I've been binging a lot of your videos the last couple days. You reallly need to say "black people" instead of "blacks" I know this video is from 2016 though so you may have corrected this by now.
I'll say Nat was a hero for his cause. He was being harshly mistreated so he stood up and did what he could to change the situation. However, his actions left more of his own dead than of the oppressors. The laws became more harsh, not less, and the anti-black sentiment only worsened. The best thing that came of his rebellion is more politicians pushing for emancipation or deportation back to Africa. At that time, both were excellent ideas.
The Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves of 1807 (2 Stat. 426, enacted March 2, 1807) His mother would have had to been born on a slave ship and given birth to him at the age of 24 for your biography to be accurate. His mother being a slave being brought from Africa lost me.
He was an Anarchist, like Christ, he stood up for his naturally derived, moral right to be free. was it Samuel Adams who said "give me liberty or give me death", and Gabriel prosser who used that saying inverted, "death or Liberty". True men
From a secular point of view, Turner mustve been insane to believe all that believed. Its grandiose illusions, and religious fanaticism. He could've helped his fellow slaves escape, like Tubman. John Brown was an extremist, but he killed slave owners- not their families and servants. Turner is more of a figure of tragedy. But one man's terrorist is another man's hero.
CitrusJuice wtf are you talking about he’s just saying his opinion and while this was an option it wasn’t exactly an effective option, all they did for the most part was kill whole families including the servants and babies and as soon as they were going to do something meaningful they got gunned down so I mean he could’ve done so many other things
CitrusJuice you’re calling him a supremacist meanwhile you say Nat Turner did the right thing because he killed a good amount of white people, you do realize racism doesn’t only go one way right? We just don’t bitch and whine about it like you

@@thomasunderwood5780 how you go say about Nat Turner going at innocent people, how many time when people went to war innocent people were killed, or how about the guys killing the 200 slaves, nothing to say about them huh, but all of sudden you wanna ask is this guy a Terrorist or Hero, u heard they made the guys look like a devils by displaying heads and making good of his body, but what about the guy who killed the 200 slaves at random, nothing with them so...
See this is the part you people can't seem to understand. In their eyes as slaves NO ONE was innocent. All they'd known their entire life was the torture, rape murder and dehumanization of their people. And the "innocents" went on about their day as if it were all okay. They never questioned why another human being was chained and beaten for having a darker complexion or why a woman's newborn was used as gator bait or why they had daily lynching events as if it were some kind of circus act. The death's of women and infants was the norm to them and guess who's at fault for that? All they cared about was how much of the benefits they could real from the victims of their people's evil and treachery. My ancestors reacted with what they were taught and shown their entire lives. Brutality, that might made right. Like honestly what kind of reaction do you possibly think would have been brought forth after all my people had been through for generations at that time? Did you expect them to march and protest for freedom as if it were already the 60s and as if the civil rights movement were a thing? Did you expect them to rally the so called innocent's and future slave masters who didn't give a FUCK about them and their rights as a human beings? Sometimes the amount of logical disconnect and willful ignorance you people display is extraordinary.
This is what happens when we allow someone else to tell our story. The Nat Turner rebellion was not the bloodiest nor the largest slave rebellion in this country's history.
Not A Hero-- for those who have psychological issues by seeing other grossly punished. What a mindset for so called people who claim to be intellectually superior-
My opinion is he was ahead of his time. I don't know if the term "hero" should be applied to somebody who had no problem with murdering babies, but something was needed to really bring the issue of slavery and its needed end to the forefront of American politics at the time.

Forgot the most important ramification, serious development of militias and military training in South after this . Northern invention of cotton gin made slavery too profitable to get rid of.
In the Commonwealth of Virginia 1831, Nottoway living on communal reservation land were not subject to taxes, or to “registration” as were other free people of color. Taxation of “free coloreds” was not primarily for the purpose of revenue generation, it was a means of control. Free coloreds who did not register, and pay their “free tax” were subject to being placed in involuntary servitude with anyone the sheriff or tax collector assigned them to…It was a means of government sanctioned enslavement. Henry "Nat" Turner was a half-indian negro, married to a member of the Nottoway tribe (Cherry Turner) with 3 children lawfully entitled to land due to matrilineal laws of Virginia in 1831, but forced into involuntary servitude due to restrictive tax laws against people of color. The insurrection was about rights to his family’s land and the rampant thefts of land by Europeans. Those lands were never returned. The insurrection is a ramification of this forgotten part of history. So, forgetting is par for course.

He knew what those "innocent" babies would grow up to become and do to him/his family/his babies....don't you think that affected his own moral compass when he made his decisions?
It's hard to judge him without walking a mile in his shoes.
I see him as an American Hero who fought for freedom. He did some messed up things, sure....but, find me a revolutionary who didn't.
Gold Wolf I didn't know what to think of Nat Turner for a while. At first, I viewed him as a hero who tried to free his people from oppression. Even if it meant killing(which I'm highly against), but it was a different time then and we have progressed though there still is racism in America and the world, what's new? Then I discovered they also killed children and babies which I'm fondly not a fan of, but then again what human being isn't. However, I remember many great American and other global leaders in the past have done some fucked up shit. So my view of Nat Turner still stands as a hero. Nowadays, what we need is not more killings however, but love, understanding and patience. Treat each other as how we want to be treated. Laugh a little, not take everything so seriously. Live your life!
(Sorry for leaving a paragraph I got carried away)
If you entered the house of an SS Nazi and killed him, then you saw a baby lying in a crib, would you kill the baby and throw it in the fire? If your answer is yes, there's something wrong with you, plain and simple. Saying, "The baby would have grown up to be a slaveowner so it's okay to kill it," is the exact same logic used by racists in saying, "Black children will grow up to be criminals so it's okay to try them as adults and put them away for life."
Fallen Those babies are going grow up and be wicked just like thier parents
I find it interesting that as a matter of debate, it's being asked if kidnapping, murderous rapists being killed along with their families constitutes an act of monstrosity, whereas the monsters that were killed incited that very action.

Really interesting video. Slavery has become a real interest of mine. How any intelligent (White) people could 1) think that slavery was a good idea 2) claim to be good businessmen when they had free labor 3) think that the North was going to tolerate the South continuing to benefit from free labor (forget the moral argument of 'owning' another human being)

What about the black people in africa who "sold" other blacks to Europeans? They "taught" them slavery. What about the africans that raided slavic areas and enslaved white people? Or have you never heard that the word "slave" is derived from the word "slav?" If you're going to hold one people accountable, hold "all" people accountable.
To answer your question, I know in my heart Rev. Nat Turner was a HERO on many levels. He at the time of his death would start something that had long been thought of even before he decided to do it. I am one who knows that you can't continue to tell someone that you are less than human when you were and are the first humans on earth!!!
I'm Nat Turner's descendant but I disapprove of him killing kids...
@@jamellfoster6029 Nat Turner made decisions he needed in the world he lived in. You have never lived in that world so your disapproval means nothing. Do you equally disapprove of Black children having been murdered, beaten, raped and enslaved? White children, as far as Turner was concerned, are future slave owners. Since the beginning of history soldiers have killed children so they do not grow up to take revenge. In fact, even in this retelling you heard that slave owners took revenge on 200 Black people who had nothing to do with the rebellion. Do you "disapprove" of that? Why are you choosing to only "disapprove" of the actions of those enslaved? You disrespect his legacy with this nonsense.
@@ChesyaBurke I am against harming kids of any race or ethnicity... Kids are kids & they aren't born racist. Adults instruct kids on how to be racist. Why kill or even kill innocent kids??

@@MrTopgun624 you’re defending slave owners?
I approve this message
I think that the rebellion was necessary for black liberation but I don’t support the murder of the white children. Children are only products of the parents decisions and words, it’s not fair to cut their life short because of your hatred toward the others. Then again I wasn’t alive at the time so I have no idea what I’m talking about
Think of what he could have been if he hadn't been enslaved.
Ok I’ve seen a lot of fighting on this and I’d like to give my two cents. I won’t call Nat Turner a “hero” because he did murder babies, but I will not condemn him. In his situation all he had known was violence and cruelty. He was human and when you’re only exposed only to that kind of treatment you either just get used to it or you break in some way shape or form. Nat Turner broke and the only way out of the abusive hell that is slavery was to fight back. And then if you think about it what Nat did was NOTHING compared to what the hundreds of years of slavery did. This is going to sound bad but a couple white future slaveholding kids dying is less than what is deserved for the thousands of kids forced to wilt away and lose their potential by being enslaved. I don’t want a race war and I don’t think all whites should die but I do think that people who believe that are so far off the moral line. Being (what I like to think) a good person murder is bad always but being a fair person eye for an eye yk. So overall I think everyone is really lucky that most slaves only wanted freedom and not revenge
well said!
He did NOT murder babies..those are lies people keep telling.
Still got slave skin etc passed down generation 2 generation smfh
True he did kill children so that's nothing to applaud. Children are innocent. I'm a Mom & I cannot stand anyone who harms kids...
💪🏾He was on the mission of Moses. He is justified. In every battle of the Old Testament his army was instructed to kill everything including the children.
helped me a lot with my social studies homework :)
hands down a mastermind, let down by his own people. I had to read his biography in college, all he miscalculated, was that all his fellow slaves wouldn't join him. If they had joined him, American history would be different. So when Kanye says 400 years? That sounds like a choice. Technically he isn't incorrect; the people, who pussied out, got punished hardcore anyway.
That is part of the lie you were told. If he had gotten to Jerusalem, it would have grown more than just the 300. There were 300 total armed men. half on horseback, half on foot.. 2 commanders.. Hark "Hercules" Moore was the violent one that led half of the group. Henry Nat Turner was the commander that ordered his group to spare poor whites. NILES WEEKLY REGISTER - Fourth Series, Volume IV and Volume XI. BALTIMORE - August 27th, 1831. Titled- THE PAST - THE PRESENT - FOR THE FUTURE. Page 455 right column and page 456 left column, middle paragraph. Proof that the group was larger, but you have to read in extensive detail. Several correspondence, express arriving from Suffolk, from Virginia during 1831 confirm that 300 MEN were indeed the majority of the army, stating the army was headed towards South Quay, presumed trying to reach the Dismal swamp. it even says they repelled the first militia confrontation. Although, the militia blames their retreat on their guns having wet powder due to the rain. Keep reading that article I cited and you will see that even some of the poor Irish were riding with them to do battle over land. Read the part where eyewitness accounts state there were one or two white men involved in the insurrection. So much more to this that people just don't know due to the lies history has spun. Turner's connections with Nottoway Indians, poor whites who were also pissed off about seizing of lands is something that has been hidden by calling Turner just a murderous psycho out for baby blood. Lies. It was a coordinated insurrection that was growing. He was a hero. Only uninformed sheep who believe lies would think otherwise.
Nat did what he was suppose to do. Hero. Legend. Revolutionary. Greatness. Forever cemented in history of life 💯
Heroes don't murder people in their sleep at 2:00a.m. and slaughter babies, throwing them into fire. People who do that are lower than scum no matter what their reasons are.
That’s your own opinion and perspective on what heroes are supposed to be lol. To many in the black community he is and will be revered as a hero and savior for fighting oppression against evil.
@@almightypower4895 Then that community is "sick." Evil is evil and trying to justify it after the fact is evil as well. If a black baby was killed anywhere for any reason, nothing would sway your opinion, regardless. It's hypocrisy, pure and simple.
Whatever helps you sleep at night buddy. Is your perspective. Color doesn’t matter. What was done is history. Like it or not it happened regardless of your emotional refutations about it. It’s funny when someone’s only logic is to not resist or counter with brute force against oppression for a collective of a certain demographic of people… you can’t expect to oppress the masses and think there will be karma or consequences for ignorant behavior displayed. If you are going to justify slavery then just say that then, because you’re literally wasting your time replying with nonsense if you think blacks weren’t going revolt against wicked people and use pleasant tactics to go about making a statement or liberate themselves.
@@almightypower4895 Slavery was disgusting. I wish it had never happened. However, my problem was with their hate and viciousness, like murdering babies and throwing them into a fire. Those were no heroes. I doubt I would have said anything if it weren't for that. There's no way you can justify that and it proves where the hearts of these people were. It was just about HATE. If someone enslaved me, I'd have hated them too, but not like this. You have to admit it was pretty cowardly to fall upon sleeping people at 2:00a.m. as well. If they had gotten together and found a place of refuge for themselves, I could have respected that, but what they did instead was demonic. It was also stupid, because they only made things harder for other slaves and there was no way they could have won anyways, so it was for nothing. Aside from the baby, it was the hate in the comments that really bothered me. I had no idea that black people still hate white people so much. Every one of them reveled in black people killing white people. They just "loved" it and couldn't praise the murderers enough. It wasn't just about long ago slavery. They are overflowing with hate for white people right "now." The slave-owners and the slaves have been dead for generations. How do you know that you're not a reincarnated slave owner or that some KKK guy isn't a reincarnated slave? It's just "stupid" and "pointless."
Turner and those who fought alongside him were rebelling against heinous acts of rape, murder and torture. If Nat Turner's Rebellion is juxtaposed to the American Revolution, Turner's was an act of self defense that was, in every conceivable way, more justified than the "American Revolution" in which many were killed over raising taxes. Killing motivated by escaping near genocide, or killing motivated by taxes imposed on rich landowners, which of these is murder, really?
If he white, there would be no outrage.

NATE TURNER... A true HERO 👑❤️👑
Nat Turner is an African American hero. In fact, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch, Nat Turner and several other anti slavery / civil rights heros will be honored with a statue in downtown Richmond VA.
Is the plaque going to read "baby murderer?"
@@johngost1505 I don't know. How many enslaved Africans, men, woman, and children did his owner murder, rape, defile, and cannibalize?
Nat Turner, and anyone owned by another human in brutal chattle slavery, had a moral duty to free themselves and destroy anyone in their path.
Nat Turner is an American Spartacus.
Sorry. No sorry.
@@The10thManRules Also, turner, himself, testified that Travis was not a cruel master, so, no, he didn't murder, rape, defile or, especially, cannibalize anyone.
@@The10thManRules Turner never even appeared in court. Anyone who actually reads the case in detail would see Thomas R. Gray submitted his own writings, swore he got them from Turner in jail and swore under oath it was a real "testimony". Gray lied under oath 3 times in court. The person who responded to you hypocritically wrote part of a testimony, but totally skipped over the testimony of Jarell Judkins who testified that Turner told the group to spare poor whites. The person who responded to you claimed Turner killed any and all whites and there was no proof otherwise..so did he not read the Judkins testimony or does he count on others not reading it? Turner did NOT kill any babies, nor did he condone the killing of poor whites..lies told by Gray. Zero proof otherwise that Turner authorized it. Watch the liars with agendas.
Nat Turner and John Brown. 2 very good men.
I understand his rebellion but I do NOT aprove him if he killed children and even babies. They were not guilty!
Libros de Joaquín E. Brotons brotons where people also killed black children back then . Do your research
SauceMan Tv So that justify killing a baby?
Henry "Nat" Turner did NOT kill or order the killing of poor whites, per the testimony of Jarell Judkins in court. No one on here can provide one ounce of proof otherwise that isn't dubious. There were 300 armed men, half on foot and half on horseback marching down the street. Most farms or plantations did not have many slaves. There were two commanders, Hark "Hercules" Moore, who was not opposed to killing any and all. The group of 300 men were not under Turner's command until the rendezvous point. They only caught 50 or 60. Everyone on here who claims he killed kids or murdered babies in the crib only rely on the garbage lies told by Thomas R. Gray in court. And I can prove that Gray lied under oath 3 times in court. Liars on here love portraying Henry Nat Turner as a baby murderer, instead of addressing real facts with hard evidence. I challenge anyone on here to find one ounce of proof that Henry Nat Turner killed babies. Only sources are the garbage lies of Thomas R. Gray who lied under oath 3 times in court.

Rest in "pieces" is more like it. A proper end to someone who slaughters babies and throws them into fire. Is that where you're going to pick up where he left off? Everyone is free and equal but you still feel like murdering babies.
To make it clear, Nat Turner is definitely a hero!!!
I believe their actions were justified. Though some things were extremely controversial, they did what they had to do in the environment that was presented to them.
- Was killing the Slave owners 7 year old son justified?
Perhaps not. Though these claims sound a propagandistic, I will continue. The alternative is the child waking up to a blood showered home. the town he grew in probably a similar picture. No one to take care of the child and if any food was present it was eaten by the slaves and their own children who were just being starved and over worked.
Was it wrong the kill the infant and burn them? Again, this sounds like some hardcore fear mongering. But again we must look at the alternative.
The infant is left alone with no parents, no siblings to take it to help. Left for days screaming in a house with soon to be rotting corpses. How long would this go on? Even if someone where to stumble upon the home and find the infant, who’s to say what intentions this individual has? Think about the time period this is in.
Viewing the rebellion of Nat Turner and through this lens, could we say that he was in some kind of way a hero? And in any case when someone is a hero there will always be someone who finds them to be the villain.
I find Nat Turners actions admirable considering the conditions presented to him.
Those could be possibilities, but highly unlikely... Life isn't Hollywood. :(
Trying to justify the slaughter of a baby is "vile."
Yes. It was completely justified. The owner was due such karma to understand his own vile nature.
What was done to Nat Turner was monstrous, and he became a monster.
I don't know if he was right or wrong!!!!! I respect his legacy.🙏🏿💯🐼

They didn’t kill the kids/babies to be edgy or to make a strong statement. They knew that if the kids weren’t killed, they would just inherit the slaves after the adults were killed.

Good video, explained it well.
good video real informative!
This dude was a motherfucking hero!
Nat Turner was undoubtedly a Hero, even though the killing of innocents is abhorent, it's the slave owners' faults not to realise that the injustice of slavery have consequences, consequences of which places innocents in danger, the slave owner parents of those children agreed to the evils of slavery and so their youth also perishes due to the evil of their parents, so they had it coming.
May Nat (Turner) spirit live on. His legacy is one of bravery beyond what the human heart could conceive. Even though we die, we live forever. Nat and the Nat family and descendants we honor a great man and even greater warrior. To those to died at your sides, we honor you. Long live Nat Turner. May we speak his name till Christ returns for judgment of us all.
Birth of a nation nat Turner style
sadly, what they tell us isnt always the whole story.
honestly speaking from human nature and my gut. something tells me something beyound wicked happened, for them to kill the child and collectively say "kill em all', 1,
2. to say they were tortured was an understatment. and to know the things they went through after being caught were unthinkable but knowing WHEN you were caught what was gonna happen and STILL be so ready, willing and undeterred tells me from my soul to my gut. THE REASON, of why went beyond slavery but FOR someone else and for what was done to thus person. NO one committes an act of such and have EVERYONE or talk a large percentage into to being apart of it for self fulfilling reasons. people stand firm on the religon side of things they over think and miss the personal side. i dont think those that did what they did, with the hopes or intentions of being free, or living. i feel they did all they could knowing they will die...And that gives you an entirely different mindset
Be followed the commandments of Moses. In every battle in the old testament Moses demanded his army to kill everything including children. Turner was on the mission of Moses. 💪🏾
hero all day!!
Hero- to individuals that see unequivocally see Freedom and Justice ....as a prime Goal
Nat Turner was a hero who did all things necessary to secure his freedom and carry out his mandate from God. I don't understand people rationalizing why Nat would kill a slave owner but should spare a slave inheritor.The instant a slave owner dies all enslaved people are transferred to a new owner whether is be the wife or the soon to be baby owner. You can't walk free until every person who could own you is dead. Even then, the state will take possession of you and have you sold for tax revenue if no one claims the estate. I think the sympathizers for the slave system simply don't have an in depth understanding of the slave system. Hell, being a free black person still meant you could be subject for enslavement as long as you are following the black laws or avoid getting kidnapped. Just annoys me so much people are so dense, what do they teach in school these days?
These white people want to be willfully ignorant. It's what they're great at.
Thank you for this video.
Nat turner is a fearless man
Yeah, it took a lot of guts to murder a baby.
I've been binging a lot of your videos the last couple days. You reallly need to say "black people" instead of "blacks" I know this video is from 2016 though so you may have corrected this by now.
I'll say Nat was a hero for his cause. He was being harshly mistreated so he stood up and did what he could to change the situation. However, his actions left more of his own dead than of the oppressors. The laws became more harsh, not less, and the anti-black sentiment only worsened. The best thing that came of his rebellion is more politicians pushing for emancipation or deportation back to Africa. At that time, both were excellent ideas.
Its all in God's hands now,I'm sure it's been balanced out w/fair rations/judgments given to those on the opposite side of equality!
Heroes don't murder babies.
He should've kept going when he escaped them visions got him killed.
All of us are not cowards

He was an Anarchist, like Christ, he stood up for his naturally derived, moral right to be free. was it Samuel Adams who said "give me liberty or give me death", and Gabriel prosser who used that saying inverted, "death or Liberty". True men
Christ wasn't an anarchist, you moron. He was sent by God to teach love and compassion. Did Samuel Adams say to go out and murder babies? Sick freaks.
From a secular point of view, Turner mustve been insane to believe all that believed. Its grandiose illusions, and religious fanaticism. He could've helped his fellow slaves escape, like Tubman. John Brown was an extremist, but he killed slave owners- not their families and servants. Turner is more of a figure of tragedy.
But one man's terrorist is another man's hero.
Graham Swanson everyone cant be a Tubman and escaping was even deadly than a rebellion he did the right thing i just wished i learned about him sooner
CitrusJuice wtf are you talking about he’s just saying his opinion and while this was an option it wasn’t exactly an effective option, all they did for the most part was kill whole families including the servants and babies and as soon as they were going to do something meaningful they got gunned down so I mean he could’ve done so many other things

I think none of the parties involved were heroes, specifically due to the killing of innocents on every side
See this is the part you people can't seem to understand.
In their eyes as slaves NO ONE was innocent. All they'd known their entire life was the torture, rape murder and dehumanization of their people.
And the "innocents" went on about their day as if it were all okay. They never questioned why another human being was chained and beaten for having a darker complexion or why a woman's newborn was used as gator bait or why they had daily lynching events as if it were some kind of circus act. The death's of women and infants was the norm to them and guess who's at fault for that?
All they cared about was how much of the benefits they could real from the victims of their people's evil and treachery.
My ancestors reacted with what they were taught and shown their entire lives. Brutality, that might made right.
Like honestly what kind of reaction do you possibly think would have been brought forth after all my people had been through for generations at that time?
Did you expect them to march and protest for freedom as if it were already the 60s and as if the civil rights movement were a thing? Did you expect them to rally the so called innocent's and future slave masters who didn't give a FUCK about them and their rights as a human beings?
Sometimes the amount of logical disconnect and willful ignorance you people display is extraordinary.

Taxation of “free coloreds” was not primarily for the purpose of revenue generation, it was a means of control. Free coloreds who did not register, and pay their “free tax” were subject to being placed in involuntary servitude with anyone the sheriff or tax collector assigned them to…It was a means of government sanctioned enslavement. Henry "Nat" Turner was a half-indian negro, married to a member of the Nottoway tribe (Cherry Turner) with 3 children lawfully entitled to land due to matrilineal laws of Virginia in 1831, but forced into involuntary servitude due to restrictive tax laws against people of color. The insurrection was about rights to his family’s land and the rampant thefts of land by Europeans. Those lands were never returned. The insurrection is a ramification of this forgotten part of history. So, forgetting is par for course.
Cool, thanks
