His rebellion was the largest sign of black resistance to slavery in America, and led the state legislature of Virginia to a policy that said no one could question slavery.

"African American preacher Nat Turner believed his mission on Earth was to free his people from slavery. Seeing an 1831 solar eclipse as a message from above, he led a slave rebellion on four Virginia plantations. About 60 whites were killed, and Turner was captured, tried, and executed. To stop such uprisings, white leaders passed new laws to limit the activities of slaves and to strengthen the institution of slavery. "

Escaping from bondage in 1838 at the age of twenty-one, he was  “discovered’’ by  the abolitionists in 1841 when he gave a stunning impromptu speech at an antislavery meeting in Massachusetts. Thereafter he lectured widely for the cause, despite frequent beatings and threats against his life. In  1845 he published his classic autobiography,  Narrative  of the Life of Frederick Douglass. It  depicted his remarkable origins as the son of a black slave woman and a white father, his struggle to learn to read and write, and his eventual escape to the North."

I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence.

Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground.

The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppose.
