Nat Turner #1267

Caption from poster__       " I heard a loud noise in the heavens,  and the spirit was loosened, and  Christ had laid down the yoke he had   borne for the sins of men, and that  I should take it on and fight against   the serpent, for the time was fast   approaching when the first should   be last and the last should be first."       Nat, remembered today as "Nat Turner", (October 2, 1800 – November 11, 1831) was an American slave whose failed slave rebellion in Southampton County, Virginia, was the most remarkable instance of black resistance to enslavement in the antebellum southern United States. His methodical slaughter of white civilians during the uprising made him a controversial figure, but he is still considered by many to be a heroic figure of black resistance to oppression. Though he became known as Nat Turner in the aftermath of the uprising, his actual given name was simply Nat.   Now available 11" x 17" Print with Black Frames $25.00 For 24" x 36' Size prints please call 678-608-7892 to order
