]man, you right, but i'm saying. how about instead of throwing the gun down, you pick the fukking gun up and blow off massa head. then blow off his daughters head, and his wife's head
And then what exactly.
You just killed Massa, and his daughter and wife, hmmmmm. What does that mean for the other slaves of the plantation.
Yall love to throw around Nat Turners famous uprising. Nat and his boys got tired of that bullshyt and offed them crackas, turned the table on whitey and gave em a taste of their own medicine.
Except well..................I'm sure yall have heard of "Newton's" 3rd law of motion..
And shortly after all that....
In the aftermath, there was widespread fear, and white militias organized in retaliation against slaves.
The state executed 56 slaves accused of being part of the rebellion. In the frenzy, many innocent enslaved people were punished. At least 100 blacks, and possibly up to 200, were murdered by militias and mobs. Across the South, state legislatures passed new laws prohibiting education of slaves and free blacks, restricting rights of assembly and other civil rights for free blacks, and requiring white ministers to be present at black worship services.
Wait here's more...
Before this revolt, many lawmakers wanted to end slavery. However, the violence and fear triggered by this event made many feel that they needed to control slaves more strictly. Some whites considered Turner a cruel, deceptive man who used religion to persuade other slaves to commit a horrific crime. Others viewed him as a true religious fanatic. Some whites who considered Turner’s actions evil, still believed that slavery needed to be abolished, and that slavery was immoral. The black abolitionist David Walker and Thomas Jefferson had both predicted that slavery would cause such a dangerous and rebellious person as Nat Turner. His revolt led many abolitionists to further action.
The Virginia legislature met as a result of the revolt as well. Some representatives from areas west of the Blue Ridge Mountains wanted slavery abolished. Governor John Floyd, who was himself a slaveholder, thought that statewide abolition was the only way to prevent future attacks of a similar nature. Some put forth plans to have all blacks colonized at state expense. They debated the gradual abolition of slavery, but decided to
tighten the slave codes instead. These codes strengthened the militia systems. It became illegal for black preachers to preach without a white man present or for blacks to even assemble without a white presence. African Americans were not allowed to own guns or to learn to read or write. Speaking against slavery also became a crime. The point of these codes was to prevent African Americans from communicating or meeting in large groups. Thomas Randolph, a grandson of Thomas Jefferson, who had advocated gradual abolition, predicted at the meeting of the House of Delegates that the dissolution of the Union would soon occur because of slavery. During the 1830’s and 1840’s the South became a martial society set upon preserving slavery. Slave discipline was enforced more strictly in order to prevent another rebellion.
