Resistance+to+Slavery

Resistance on the Plantations
THE RESISTANCE AGAINST SLAVERY. FIRST WE WILL TALK ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO STARTED THE RESISTANCES. THEN ABOUT THE RESISTANCE ITSELF. THE FIRST PERSON IS NAT TURNER AND SHE STARTED A REVOLT IN 1831 BY WRITING WHAT HAPPENED TO HER IN HER DIARY. NEXT WAS GABRIEL POSSER AND HIS REBELLION NEVER HAPPENED. HE WAS 24 YEARS OLD WHEN HE TRIED HIS REBELLION. IT NEVER HAPPENED BECAUSE HE WAS BETRADE. AND CONVICTED TO BE HUNG ON OCTOBER 7TH. Then was DENMARK VESEY and he After purchasing his freedom, he planned what would have been one of the largest slave rebellions in the united states. Word of the plans was leaked, and Charleston, south Carolina, authorities arrested the plot's leaders before the uprising could begin. Vesey and others were tried, convicted and executed. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST JOHN BROWN and he In Aug. 1855 followed 5 of his sons to Kansas to help make the state a heaven for anti-slavery settlers. The following year, his hostility toward slave-stators exploded after they burned and pillaged the free-state community of Lawrence. Having organized a militia unit within his Osawatomie River colony, Brown led it on a mission of revenge. HE WAS HUNG FOR TREASON AGAINST VIRGINIA IN CHARLESTOWN. HUNG ON DEC. 2ND, 1859. THESE WERE THE HEROS THAT TRIED TO REVOLT AGAINST SLAVERY. THERE BRAVERY AND COURAGE PAID OFF IN THE LONG RUN IF NOT WE WOULD NOT KNOW THEIR NAMES.
