Two sentences in this piece gave me pause: first the first;

“ His bravery, however, saved from the hands of these monsters, his lovely and amiable wife, who will long lament a husband, so deserving of her love.”

My question is: WHO WERE THE MONSTERS and WHO WAS DESERVING OF LOVE?

The second sentence: “ He is a complete fanatic, or plays his part most admirably”.

After witnessing a fanatic who incited an interaction on January 6, 2021 in these United States, I feel this describes a modern day insurrectionist perfectly. He is not honest and accountable as the lowly 31 year old Nat Turner, is more than twice as old and supported by evangelicals for PRESIDENT (SHOCKINGLY) . Lord help us remove this blight from our lives on November 5, 2024 (193 years after Mr. Turner’s trial date)!! It would be a day of REDEMPTION!

There were many slave rebellions in America. However, the Haitian slave rebellion was successful-- it sent shock waves throughout early America. America didn't recognize Haiti as a sovereign country after the successful rebellion. Did the Palestinians have a Nat Turner moment on October 7?

Sometimes it's just stuff I stumble across without looking. I'll take the credit though. :)
