The Confessions of Nat Turner

In the history of the confession of Nat Turner, people published articles and books to shock the public. Rulers such as Stalin and Mao used promotion to maintain their power and people like Thomas Pain used articles to revolutionize. Tott Gray, author of "Natoner's confession", had this power when interviewing Turner. Nat Turner's confession is thought to be Turner's own words, but we can not confirm that Gray does not display this information for greater benefit.

Nat Turner's confession is a novel awarded the 1967 Pulitzer Prize of American writer William Stallen. This novel was published by the historical character Nat Turner as the first person tale, including the enslavement in Virginia state in 1831. This is based on Natner's confession. A recent uprising leader in Southampton, Virginia, having a direct account in 1831 and a local lawyer Thomas Ruffin Gray announced Turner's confession. Stellen's ambitious novel is trying to imagine Natner's character; it does not imply an exact or authoritative description of the event. Some historians believe that Gray is biased towards Turner's "repentance" debate, and recent writers have claimed that Gray's remarks are fake itself.

Many of the books and articles dealing with the life of the nuts before the rebellion are based on Thomas Gray's "Narrator's Narration" (1831) of Southampton Virginia state later. Gray is a southern lawyer, an avid defender of slavery, sitting with Nato after arrest, is said to have written down "confession" verbatim. The reason why many historians expressed doubt about Gray 's confession of Natner was evident. At the same time, "When the document is observed in the historical context", as Steven B. Oates pointed out in "Jubilee's Fire: Natner's Fierce Rebellion" (1975), "These confessions are Oates, confessions Turner's statement in court on October 31, "very close" to the record of slave trials and the record of modern newspaper.
