In the case of Ossian, the white community banded together to form the Waterworks Park Improvement Association and use violence to threaten Sweet’s home and family. Faced with angry mobs outside, Ossian armed his family and friends to defend their home with guns. This resulted in, Henry Sweet, his brother, opening fire and killing a white man named Leon Breiner in the crowd.

After the first house, they went to many more on basically a mass purge. In each town, they would pick up more slaves and free men to join them fight the whites. This event is known as, Nat Turner’s Rebellion. With about forty men with him, they began to lose focus and were not 100% alert or ready for an offensive attack. This gave Virginia’s militia the upper hand, therefore crushing the rebellion with ease.…
The most violent slave revolt in the United States was in 1831, also known as the Nat Turner’s Rebellion. It all started with Nat, throughout his life span…
The Nat Turner Rebellion of 1831 led first to shock and horror at the events that had happened, realization of the slaves’ ability and willingness to revolt, and finally a crackdown on the rights of slaves in the hope of preventing another massacre. As shown through document A, a lithograph illustration printed in 1831 of a slave revolt, the whites were absolutely horrified by the violence of the Nat Turner Rebellion. For example, the lithograph depicts a mother shielding her child from a slave wielding a weapon, begging him not to hurt her son. Moreover, document C, a letter from Lt. Robert E. Lee, portrays the whites’ shock and disbelief of the occurrence of the Rebellion.…

By killing all the people Turner made things worse on the slaves. Many blacks were killed by slave owners after the rebellion because slave owners thought it was going to make things even. This is one of the first times in history the thought of freeing the slaves even was brought up in the legislature. The state of Virginia thought that if they realized all the salves and let them be free an outbreak like Nat Turners rebellion would not happen again but the law never passed. The rebellion also made life worse for the slaves because the slave owners where more on edge and more strict after the rebellion to try to keep all the slaves in check to prevent a rebellion from ever happening…
During the late 1820s, the Vesey and Nat Turner revolts occurred. This is one of many similarities they shared. During these revolts, one specific similarity they had in common was that they were both born into slavery. Like any other slave both, Vesey and Turner, were against the injustice of slavery and claimed to be men of God. Both men tried to use their voices in their communities to preach to fellow slaves and begin uproars to try to fight to end slavery.…
“A mob is passionate, a mob follows one man or a few men blindly… and combine business and pleasure.” With mobs such as the Ku Klux Klan (Arnesen 33) many people fought against the Blacks and even enjoyed doing it. African Americans in this time were also always blamed for crimes they may have not committed and treated unfairly in a so called ‘just system.’ Many African Americans had just had enough and decided to move their lives up North where there would be less racial discrimination and fear, but it wasn’t entirely true. There were also many riots and mob violence in the North.…
Turner’s Analysis Stephen B. Oates “The Fires of Jubilee Nat Turner’s Fierce Rebellion” is a book about the slave rebellion that took place in 1831 at Virginia Southampton. This book is an historical narrative in reference to Nathaniel Turner, an educated black slave who organized other slaves into a very bloody battle against their masters. Nat was born into slavery and believed he should be freed because he knew how to read and write. He was willing to do anything to be freed, even kill to have his freedom that he strongly desired. In the month of August, it was a very troubled and chaotic month amongst the slaves and their masters that this was unlikely to be seen coming their way.…
Confusion and chaos took over the entire south as questions about why Nat ad rebelled came up. Why did he commit violence in an area where the master-slave relations were much better than many other southern counties (101)? The largest concern was if a rebellion as violent and as fierce in a mellow place like Virginia, what would happen in the “deep” south (105)? Rumors of slave plots spread to the border of Virginia and North Carolina and people were in a state of disarray. Any slave suspicious of participating in, or starting a rebellion would be killed immediately.…
Slavery in the United States tore the nation in two. Slaves started to rebel against their slave owners through acts of both nonviolent and violent rebellion, which played an enormous role in the abolitionist movement. The social, political, and economic impact of the rebellions reached far beyond the Civil War, giving black Americans a newfound identity. A day in the life of a slave was tiring.…

Jacob Ashcraft 24 October 2016 Texas Revolution Was Inevitable In one of the first major scholarly works on the Texas Revolution, historian Eugene C. Barker in 1928 described the conflict as a “clash of cultures.” Barker maintained that Anglo-Texans and Mexicans had little in common and, as a result, concluded that the rebellion could not have been avoided. Barker is correct in his statement about war being inevitable. Some believe it was because the Anglo colonists wanted overrun Texas and break away to become a part of the United States in the venture westward.…
