This is how I imagine #NatTurner woke up and chose violence instead of reasoning with the white enslavers……... Happy Black History Month. Nat Turner’s Rebellion in 1831 was a powerful

Nat Turner was executed. That was not enough. His body was flayed, dismembered, and displayed. This was not vengeance alone. It was enforcement. Slavery relied on terror, and the state made sure the message was unmistakable. #NatTurner #BlackHistory #SlaveryInAmerica #StateViolence
On #ThisDayInHistory Freedom Fighter #NatTurner was Executed. He was Lynched, Boiled, Dismembered & Consumed by European Americans who kept his Bones & other parts of his Body as Souvenirs.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1831, #NatTurner was captured. After #NatTurnersRebellion in August, which killed about 60 slavers, broke down, he stayed in #SouthamptonCounty, #Virginia, perhaps because his wife was still enslaved. His uprising was the deadliest for the slaver class.
I will always #Follow the #Example of #NatTurner #JohnLewis and those who work with every fiber of their being to #EndEnslavement
Nat Turner’s story proves this: through faith and courage, even the deepest pain can spark resistance. His legacy still speaks—are we listening?

Today in #LaborHistory 10/2/1800: #NatTurner was born. He led the only effective, sustained anti- #slavery #revolt in US history. Killed >50 people. White slave holders executed >50 slaves & severely punished dozens of non-slaves in the frenzy that followed the #uprising.
In 1831, Nat Turner led an uprising against slavery. The rebellion was crushed, but the backlash reshaped laws and deepened America’s path to war. #Receipts #NatTurner #BlackHistory #AmericanHistory #Resistance
On #ThisDayInHistory in 1831, the #slave uprising led by #NatTurner was suppressed. In three days, his band of 70+ freedom fighters killed about 60 white people. Revenge lynchings after the uprising killed almost 200 black Americans, and the South became more heavily militarized.
August 21, 1831 - Nat Turner, a 30-year-old man legally owned by a child, and six other slaves began a violent insurrection in Southampton County, Virginia.

Dear European Americans who Believe Slavery wasn’t that Bad….
1. They Ate US
2. They Raped US
3. They would bury US under the house & leave US there for Weeks.
4. They tied US to trees & Whipped US with Whips.
Google what they Did to #NatTurner Body after he surrendered 🤷🏽♀️
#OnThisDay in 1831, #NatTurner organized a slave revolt in Virginia, the biggest & most famous incident of #armedstruggle against #slavery; #Zionists have declared that there is no such thing as legitimate resistance to #ApartheidIsrael's brutal & illegal occupation~!
