Is Murder ever Justified?

Students discussed this question, then looked at parts of Kyle Baker's graphic novel, Nat Turner, which illustrates the slave rebellion of Turner in 1831. After, students view clips from episode 3 of Africans in America, which deals with the slave rebellions of Gabriel Prosser and Denmark Vesey. Also noted are the influence and impacts of the cotton gin and Louisiana Purchase.
