Synopsis

The Southampton Insurrection is a historical book written by William Sidney Drewry in the year 1900. The book revolves around the slave rebellion that took place in Southampton County, Virginia, in the year 1831. The rebellion was led by a slave named Nat Turner, who believed that he was chosen by God to lead his fellow slaves to freedom. The rebellion resulted in the deaths of around 60 white people, and the execution of Nat Turner and his followers. The book provides a detailed account of the events leading up to the rebellion, as well as the aftermath of the rebellion. It explores the social and political climate of the time, including the institution of slavery and the tensions between slaves and their owners. The book also examines the impact of the rebellion on American society, including the debates over slavery and the abolitionist movement. Overall, The Southampton Insurrection is a comprehensive and insightful historical account of one of the most significant slave rebellions in American history. It provides a valuable perspective on the complex issues surrounding slavery and race relations in the United States during the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This attempt to separate truth from fiction has been exceedingly difficult, owing to the numerous misrepresentations and exaggeration’s which have grown up about the subject. I have studied slavery, slave legislation, and the condition of the negro in every phase that might throw light upon slave insurrections. Citizens of all classes, former slaves as well as masters, have been interviewed. The scenes of this and other insurrections have been visited in company with persons thoroughly acquainted with the country and with the facts and conditions under which they occurred. Among those interviewed were members of every family that suffered at the hands of the Southampton insurgents. Persons who had guarded the prisoners and seen them executed, relatives of Nat Turner, Hark Travis, Nelson Williams, Jeff. Edwards and other negroes who had known the insurgents personally and labored with them, all furnished me information. These oral traditions I have endeavored to verify by comparison with each other, with official letters, proceedings of legislatures, county records, proceedings of county and superior courts, and other historical sources.
