Kill da white people — terrific! He gets a statue!. /sarcasm

From what I’ve read, Nat was an idiot. His plan was kill everyone on his plantation, march to the next and kill everyone there—the idea being that there would be no one to raise the alarm. Killing everyone meant killing every white person regardless of age. He was going to lead his army into the Great Dismal Swamp. What they’d do there I (and likely he) have no idea. The mob of slaves was spotted by a man on horseback, the alarm was raised and the slaves were hunted down.

He is featured in the history books because his was the only real slave revolt in US history. (Which doesn’t really look good if you think about it.) It led to a lot more restrictions on slaves’ lives than they had previously had. It convinced whites that strong militias were needed to keep something like this from ever happening again. So yes, by all raise a statue to the “mastermind” of mass murder.

A slave revolt is different to me. If anyone captures and enslaves someone, the slave has a god given right to kill as much of that society as they can achieve.
What was he supposed to do? Wait patiently? Hope someday he would be able to argue his case in court?
If isis captures someone, think that person has a right to kill captors and everyone with them, if they can?

The hell with that. He seems like a heroic character to me.
What else would a slave owner expect, compliance and acceptance?

I don’t like the reasons the blm types want this statue. But i got no heartburn with turner.

Exactly this is pathetic.

Turner thought he could succeed to bring about change through violence as happened in Haiti, even though the efforts of Vessey and Bussa and a dozen others before him failed. Thanks in part to Turner, the progress in thought of the 1810’s and 1820’s that, left alone, would have likely bloomed into an organized Liberian mass deportation/exodus and federal reimbursement of slaveowners for their lost holdings (as Britian did in the ‘30s after they made slavery illegal) died in a Civil War instead.
