No matter what you may have heard from your friendly neighborhood neo-Confederate, slaves did not like being enslaved, not even those with "good masters." One man born into the "peculiar institution" decided to do something about it, with tragic consequences. His name was Nat Turner. Join us for a fascinating discussion of the most significant slave rebellion in American constitutional history with UNC law professor Al Brophy.
