Editorial Review:

Product Description:
This textbook offers the complete text of the actual confessions of Nat Turner, the Virginia slave preacher who in 1831 led the bloodiest slave revolt in US history. An introduction provides the historical context for the revolt and allows students to consider problems suggested by the document. Additional sources include Southern editorials, which give students a sense of contemporary white reaction to slave uprisings. The volume also includes questions to consider.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great book
This is a terrific book. The introduction is particularly insightful. This is a good book for anybody interested in the history of slavery and slave rebellions.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - A Historical but tedious book
I love history, so naturally this book sounded interesting to me. I learded a lot from it. It was a very informative, well written book about one of America's strongest Slaves. I admire his ablility to stand behind his beliefs, and this book interprets his life with grace and integrity. I recommend this book to anyone who likes reading dense books packed with history.
