"[A] fascinating account of the 1831 Nat Turner rebellion in Southampton County, Virginia, and its aftermath. The book provides both an excellent narrative history of the events and an analytic framework to examine important issues in southern historiography....The Land Shall Be Deluged in Blood is a significant contribution to the literature on Turner and the 1831 uprising. It is highly recommended to those interested in the Turner rebellion, slaveresistance, and the coming of the Civil War."--Michael W. Coffey, The North Carolina Historical Review"[N]o scholar has so deepened the research or so sagaciously and meticulously examined the available sources as we find done in The Land Shall Be Deluged in Blood: A New History of the Nat Turner Revolt."--Louis A.

Synopsis
On the evening of Sunday, 21 August 1831, Nat Turner and six men launched the most famous slave revolt in American history. The rebels caught Southampton whites flatfooted and killed nearly five dozen whites, more than had been killed by any slave revolt in American history. By the afternoon of the first day, however, the small rebel army encountered hastily assembled white forces, which dispersed the rebels. Efforts to restart the revolt met with little success. By Tuesday, 23 August, the threat that the rebels had posed had dissipated. As whites gained regained control, some advocated for a brutal response, but the slaveholders ultimately were able to check the threat to slave property posed by enraged whites. As a result, far fewer slaves and free blacks in Southampton were killed as whites suppressed the revolt. An original interpretation of the revolt, This Land Shall Be Deluged uses the dramatic events in Southampton to explore both the relationship of the black community to the rebels and whites. Unlike earlier works, which have emphasized the importance of resistance or negotiating to slaves, this work explores the ambiguities faced by members of the black community as they tried to decide if they would join the rebels, support their masters, or try to avoid taking sides. This book also shows how the slaveholders were able to create a hegemonic account of the revolt that saved their slaves from white retribution, which was the most dangerous threat facing the slaveholders' human property. The majority of the book is a close narrative of the events, stressing the characters and motivations of the rebelling slaves and the dynamics of power within and between the white and black communities., On the evening of August 21, 1831, Nat Turner and six men launched their infamous rebellion against slaveholders. The rebels swept through Southampton County, Virginia, recruiting slaves to their ranks and killing nearly five dozen whites-more than had ever been killed in any slave revolt in American history. Although a hastily assembled group of whites soon suppressed the violence, its repercussions had far-reaching consequences. In The Land Shall Be Deluged in Blood , Patrick H. Breen uses the dramatic events in Southampton to explore the terrible choices faced by members of the local black community as they considered joining the rebels, a choice that would likely cost them their lives, supporting their masters, or somehow avoiding taking sides. Combining fast-paced narrative with rigorous analysis, Breen shows how, as whites regained control, slaveholders created an account of the revolt that saved their slaves from white retribution, the most dangerous threat facing the slaveholders' human property. By probing the stories slaveholders told that allowed them to get non-slaveholders to protect slave property, The Land Shall Be Deluged in Blood reveals something surprising about both the fragility and power of slavery., An original reinterpretation of the Nat Turner revolt, This Land Shall Be Deluged retells the story of how slave rebels challenged the slaveholders' authority in Southampton, Virginia. Paying careful attention to the dynamics among slaves and free, it reveals something surprising about both the fragility and power of slavery., On the evening of August 21, 1831, Nat Turner and six men launched their infamous rebellion against slaveholders.
