  • Decades before the Civil War ended slavery, there were significant revolts and uprisings by slaves who fought for their freedom. One of the most notable slave revolts happened in 1831: they called it Nat Turner's Rebellion.
    Rick Francis provided us with some historical insight into Nat Turner's Rebellion. He has a unique tie to the rebellion: he is a descendant of the family that owned Nat Turner.

    I'm soooooo HAPPY to hear u using the word BONDAGE instead of SLAVERY or SLAVE. Ty bc our ancestors were not Slaves they were Humans in Bondage... force to do free work called slavery so it's a act =verb not a person=noune.

      I find it interesting he still uses the term "slaves" to refer to those who saved his ancestors lives. He should have said : "the same people whom my ancestors exercised ownership over saved their lives, and for that - they are heroes in my book". But instead he still speaks with the air of superiority - meaning it was their job to save their masters, this is what was expected of them to do. With that thinking Mr. FRANCIS is letting everyone know by using the term *slave* that they were snitches. Peep the game family in the language, and don't get caught up in the conversation. People will plot on tou while speaking eloquently, but it is the use of select terms that show their hand. Stay woke.

      Then why did they do it our children they had no regard for our children they had no problem feeding our children to alligators and killing them anytime you harms someone child there always a chance they could get revenge and come after your children so if they really cared about their children they wouldn’t have put them in such a dangerous position at the end of the day thats was full out war and had it been switched they would have done the same to blacks had they enslaved them
