Leader: But let us also faced the question of the plagues: can the winning of freedom be bloodless?

Participant: The struggle was not bloodless when the people of America announced. “Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it,” and when Jefferson added. “Can history produce an instance of rebellion so honorably conducted? God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”

Participant: It was not bloodless what Nat Turner proclaimed, “I had a vision, and I saw white spirits and black spirits engaged in battle, and the sun was darkened- the thunder rolled in the heavens and blood flowed in streams- and I heard a voice saying, Such is you luck, such you are called to see, and let it come rough or smooth, you must surely bear it,”
