Nat Turner

He felt that slavery was wrong.

He went about fighting injustice by leading a violent slave rebellion. He was unsuccessful and tried hiding. Nat hid for 6 weeks and was eventually found and hanged. Emancipation movements were removed and slavery laws became even more harsh. He employed what became new measures. He rejected the Calvinist doctrine of passive salvation. He believed that God offered Himself to everyone and that one could be saved only through an active acceptance of God's invitation to grace. They fought injustice by freeing slaves to the North. She was the conductor of the underground railroad, sneaking slaves out the west. Harriet was extremely successful never getting caught. If it wouldn't be for her women would not be equal with men.

DAMN, I cant believe how bad that backfired. I only wanted to help my brothers and sisters.
