"Okay, okay, so nobody's blaming you! Let's just say something happened way back, huh? So maybe I am gonna die. But, Eddie, you've got even bigger troubles. You're gonna live."

In 1945, in the Philippines campaign during World War II, Lt Fitzgerald was greatly troubled to learn that he had suddenly developed the ability to know who was about to die. ("The Purple Testament", Twilight Zone, TV)

Infantry platoon, U.S. Army, Phillipine Islands, 1945. These are the faces of the young men who fight, as if some omniscient painter had mixed a tube of oils that were at one time earth brown, dust gray, blood red, beard black, and fear - yellow white, and these men were the models. For this is the province of combat, and these are the faces of war.

I'm going to be honest. When I began, I thought there were four nineteenth century vampire stories. Five if you count Dracula's Guest. I've made a huge mistake.

Nat Turner's Rebellion

Nat Turner's Rebellion (also known as the Southampton Insurrection) was a slave revolt in Southampton County, Virginia, between 21 and 23 August 1831. Led by Nat Turner (l. 1800-1831), an educated slave, the insurrectionists killed at least 55 White people before the revolt was put down, making it the deadliest slave uprising in US history.

Turner eluded a massive manhunt until 30 October 1831, when his hiding place was discovered by one Benjamin Phipps, and he was imprisoned at the Jerusalem jail the next day. While awaiting trial, he was interviewed by the lawyer T. R. Gray (l. c. 1800 to c. 1834), who has sometimes been identified as Turner's defense attorney but was not (James Strange French was to take the case, but Turner wound up being represented by William C. Parker). Almost all of what is known of Nat Turner comes from The Confessions of Nat Turner by T. R. Gray, published in November 1831.

In the aftermath of Turner's rebellion, at least 120 enslaved and Free Black residents of Southampton County were murdered in retaliation, and so, Turner's fate was sealed as soon as he was apprehended. He was found guilty of "conspiring to rebel and making insurrection" and was hanged on 11 November 1831. To the White community, he was a dangerous criminal who had been justly executed, but, to the Blacks and abolitionists, he was a freedom fighter and martyr, which is how he is regarded today.

There had been other insurrections and slave revolts before Turner's. In the Colonial era, Bacon's Rebellion (1676) and the Stono Rebellion (1739), among others, and, after the US declared independence during the American Revolution, Gabriel's Rebellion (1800), the 1811 German Coast Uprising, and Denmark Vesey's Conspiracy (1822), among still others. Denmark Vesey (l. c. 1767-1822) and Gabriel Prosser (l. c. 1776-1800) were both betrayed before their revolts could be launched and were executed.

Turner, on the other hand, although his revolt was put down, was able to put his plan into action and, although the legislation was eventually sidelined, his revolt encouraged discussions in the Virginia State Legislature of emancipation or colonization of the Black population of Virginia (and elsewhere) and added fuel to the fire of the abolitionists, both in the North and South, arguing for an end to slavery, which was finally achieved, after the American Civil War, in 1865.

Nat Turner's Rebellion was popularized in the modern era by the American novelist William Styron in his The Confessions of Nat Turner (1967), and, most recently, Turner's story was dramatized by Nate Parker in The Birth of a Nation (2016), which, though it makes ample use of poetic license (as Styron's novel also does), depicts the life of a slave in 19th century USA accurately.

Life & Revelations

Nat Turner was born into slavery on 2 October 1800, the property of one Benjamin Turner. In his Confessions, he relates a memory that had a profound effect on him:

Being at play with other children, when three or four years old, I was telling them something, which my mother overhearing, said it happened before I was born. I stuck to my story, however, and related some things which went, in her opinion, to confirm it. Others being called on were greatly astonished, knowing that these things had happened, and caused them to say, in my hearing, I surely would be a prophet, as the Lord had shown me things that had happened before my birth. And my father and mother strengthened me in this my first impression, saying in my presence I was intended for some great purpose.

(7)

He tells Gray that he "acquired with the most perfect ease, so much so, that I have no recollection whatever of learning the alphabet" and that people, noting his natural intelligence, told him he "would never be of any service to anyone as a slave" (8). He was drawn to religion, prayed often, and read the Bible. As he says, the early estimation of him as destined to be a prophet, coupled with his interpretation of scripture as well as revelations by the Holy Spirit, encouraged in him the belief that he was destined for some great work and that this was nothing less than freedom for himself and all the others then enslaved in Southampton County. As he says to Gray:

At this time, I reverted in my mind to the remarks made of me in my childhood and the things that had been shown me…that I had too much sense to be raised, and if I was, I would never be of any use to anyone as a slave. Now, finding I had arrived to man's estate, and was a slave, and these revelations being made known to me, I began to direct my attention to the great object, to fulfil the purpose for which, by this time, I felt assured I was intended.

(9)

When Benjamin Turner died in 1810, Nat became the property of his son, Samuel, and was placed under a harsh overseer, from whom he ran away. He lived in the woods for a month before, as he says, receiving a message from the Holy Spirit that he should return. Sometime later, he received another message from the Spirit and a vision of "white spirits and black sprits engaged in battle" and understood his mission, devoting himself further to prayer and fasting in order to make himself worthy of his calling and "obtain true holiness" (10). Scholar Stephen B. Oates describes Turner as a young man at about this time (c. 1825):

Physically, the young mystic was a small man with what whites described as "distinct African features." Though his shoulders were broad from work in the fields, he was short, slender, and a little knock-kneed, with thin hair, a complexion like black pearl, and cavernous, shining eyes.

(27)

At some point, he married Cherry (also given as Chary), who was also a slave of Samuel Turner. The couple may have had three children (this is unclear), but at least two since they are later referred to in the plural. When Samuel Turner died in 1823, Nat was sold to a Thomas Moore while his family was sold to one Giles Reese.

Fugitive Slaves in the Dismal Swamp

David Edward Cronin (Public Domain)

By 1830, Turner had been sold to Joseph Travis, whom he describes as "a kind master" (11), but a "kind master" is still a master to a slave that is considered property, and Turner rejected this role for himself. Interpreting further 'signs' and revelations that the time was approaching for him to act, Turner revealed his plan to four confidantes – Henry, Hark, Nelson, and Sam – who brought in others. Turner's plan was to kill all the Whites, freeing the slaves, and then (perhaps) disappear into the swamplands of Southampton. Until they were armed and organized, he tells Gray, the understanding was that "neither age nor sex was to be spared," and they began the attack at the home of Travis (12).
