Is this Nat Turner's skull? The legacy of Nat Turner continues to be rewritten. An enslaved African-American preacher, he led a small army of slaves to kill 55 white Virginians beginning on August 21, 1831. The rebellion was quickly suppressed, and Turner went into hiding. He was captured just over two months later, tried, and sentenced to death. It's rumored that, in an attempt to crush his legacy, his body was decapitated and pieces of his tanned skin were given out as souvenirs. For the past decade, what's believed to be Turner's skull has been in the possession of Richard Hatcher, former mayor of Gary, Indiana. Recently, he turned it over to Turner's fourth-generation descendants, who have enlisted forensic experts for testing.

Yes he killed children who had the potential to grow up to be just like their slave owning parents... Remember in biblical time God wiped out the whole blood line, He didn't leave room for evil to multiply...

exactly. in fact the only slave rebellion thats popularly talked about in a very mainstream way is spartacus, when no one really talks about 3 other very harrowing and inspiring revolts, this one with nat turner, the one led by john brown, and of course the only succesful one, haiti.

@Arkume8Beltz 7 лет назад

The Rogue Empire To much eurocentric history in a global world..(i'm european..XD) i supose was by interests because that revolutions was centuries ago but attached de status quo of the industial revolution ages..with a problems to much similar to the present.. I supose by the same way, in any story book can read of the jew holocaust, but wasn't than usually to see talking with the same terms of the native american genocide or the africans kidnaped from their towns to be slaves..is sad SETI search inteligent live in other planets, and a little bit more than a half century we can't see inteligent our own specie only because the origin and skin color.. :/ (sorry to my english..)
