Kaye, Anthony E. "Neighborhoods and Nat Turner: The Making of a Slave Rebel and the Unmaking of a Slave This story will be helpful to show the brutal treatment of slaves and the reason behind the slave revolts. It shows how the putting the accused was put on trial and hung and slaughtering black people indiscriminately. There were some correspondents who aimed to narrow the terrain of the revolt did so in terms of neighborhood. John Hampden Pleasants, editor of the Richmond Constitutional Whig, was explicit about the connections between quelling fears about the revolt, dispelling rumors about the rebels' vast numbers, and pinning down its geography on neighborhood grounds. |

Scully, Randolph Ferguson. “I Come Here Before You Did And I Shall Not Go Away”: Race, Gender, And slaves. It gives numerous accounts of slaves that were forced into a rebellious state of mind. This article shows how the tension began when slaves were participating in the Virginia’s evangelical community. The white leaders wanted to control the slave’s religion and beliefs. It discusses the conflict between the clerk of the Baptist church and an enslaved church member which suggest the issues of racial, gendered, and religious authority between the white and black men and women. |
Randolph Ferguson Scully believes that white denominational leaders sought to resolve these issues and bring their faith into the mainstream of white southern society and the increase of black men and women brought into evangelical churches complicated this process. Scully give his account on slaves being forced to live in unsafe, unsanitary and unhealthy conditions and this is part of the reason why slaves began to rebel.

The records of the January 1830 conference of South Quay Baptist Church, in Southampton County, |
" Jones, who owned Dick's wife, had been searching Dick's wife's house for stolen property. He found Dick at the house with stolen "bacon, pork, brandy and Cider," and when Jones confronted him, Dick responded with "very insulting language-such as 'had you given out to your folks as you ought to have done' this would not have been. |

" When Jones ordered him to leave, Dick responded, "I come here before you did and I shall not go away." Dick then attacked Jones with the axe. Apparently uninjured, Jones "ordered Dick to give him the axe [and Dick] answered 'I shall not' with much more insulting language." After hearing this report, the South Quay conference unanimously expelled Dick from the church. |
In this context, the confrontation between Dick and Jones had multiple layers of meaning. It revolved around not only issues of theft and economic justice that were endemic to slave society in Virginia but also competing claims to authority as men and profoundly different relations to the structures of church government. This was not simply a conflict between a slave and a master, but between a husband and the man who owned his wife, and between a black church member and a powerful white officer of the church. |

Wolf's general subject, emancipation efforts from the nation's founding to the volatile world of 1830s Virginia, is not new terrain for students of the early republic, but her use of deeds of manumission, and petitions for slavery, emancipation, and colonization, and other archival evidence provides a solid basis for advancing new insights and fresh perspectives.

Eva Sheppard Wolf's Race and Liberty in the New Nation is an excellent example of how material and symbolic forces may be integrated into a convincing and comprehensive whole. The work is bound to appeal to a wide array of readers from multiple disciplines. Wolf's general subject, emancipation efforts from the nation's founding to the volatile world of 1830s Virginia, is not new terrain for students of the early republic, but her use of deeds of manumission, and petitions for slavery, emancipation, and colonization, and other archival evidence provides a solid basis for advancing new insights and fresh perspectives. |
The consequences of that intensification were, needless to say, tragic and long-standing, and help account for a second central claim of the book. Wolf acknowledges the work of antislavery sentiment in the new nation, notably that associated with Quakers and certain elites such as Thomas Jefferson and St. George Tucker. Ultimately, however, such animation as could be provided by religious and revolutionary thought was eclipsed by persistent and seemingly unshakable conventions of racial thought. Efforts by elites to reform the institution of slavery were motivated by economic, political, and racialist assumptions, Wolf argues. Proponents of slavery simply had too much rhetorical firepower for any meaningful change to occur. |
