Southampton

"The Fires of Jubilee" occurred in Southampton, Virginia in the 1800's. The story comes to realization amid a period in which enslavement was the standard, particularly in the South. It depicts the battles and disorder of one such slave named Nat Turner in his journey to pick up his opportunity. It tells the story of a man destined to be a slave and his mission to amend his fate, which at last prompts to his sad demise. Nat Turner was not just a smart man, he knew how to read and compose;…

reform, while others want change economically or politically. However, the root of any rebellion is change. This was no different in the slave uprising of Virginia in 1831, led by Nat Turner. Turner was born in 1800, during the peak of slavery in Southampton, Virginia. From a very young age he had hostile feelings towards the whole institution of slavery. He felt an overwhelming sense of injustice, and refused to accept that this was the way his life would be. After receiving what he believed…

In Southampton, VA, in 183, a violent rebellion led by Nat Turner caused the deaths of many white men, women, and children. While I believe Nat Turner thought he was fighting for the freedom of slaves, it was portrayed the wrong way because he was a religiously misguided fanatic. The rebellion caused more problems for the slaves rather than solve anything. For example, the rebellion made whites feel as though they had an excuse to torture, or execute innocent slaves. The fact that Nat Turner…
