Something that kind of bothers me,

Nat Turner murdering his OWN master. I am as against slavery as the next person, no human being can OWN another and his own master was not perfect but compared to most slave masters he was pretty gentle and kind. He seemed to genuinely care about Nat Turner. He gave him time off to attend to his badly beaten wife, he protected him from angry people that might want to hurt him. He felt bad about flogging him but it was necessary because he had other white people breathing down his own neck and being Nat's owner they blamed him for the "crime" of baptizing a white man.

He just felt like a really nice guy compared to the other slave owners and abusers of black people. He might still have been cruel and abusive by today's standards I just mean relatively, kind of how a four foot three dwarf is a giant compared to the world's shortest person (One foot seven). Also, many of his actions that were cruel were based on desperation. He was suffering financial hardships and was an alcoholic and was under stress. As I said before he did not want to have to flog Nat and only did it to save some face with the angry white people whom he relied on for business help. He seemed almost apologetic after the flogging and told Nat just to lay low for a while and gave him some time to recover. Even the rape of the wife of Nat's friend was something he only allowed to happen because the man who wanted sex with her was a powerful business man whom he was relying on for financial help.

I was hoping Nat would let him live but kill the OTHER white slave owners, I feel that he should have gotten a pass for lack of a better term.

I hope nobody finds it bizarre that I am saying I feel sorry for a slave owner killed by his slave but he just did not seem like a bad person at all, ESPECIALLY compared to those slave capture gang rape people!
