- A drama focused on Nat Turner and the 1831 slave rebellion in Virginia.
- The title comes from language in the Constitution that counted each enslaved black man as three-fifths of a person for the purposes of determining Southern representation in Congress.. Turner led the most successful slave rebellion ever but was ultimately lynched along with many other slaves.—Anonymous
- Nat Turner's almost mystical powers inspire both slave and slaveholder to seek the glory of the Lord but when he preaches violence as a means to freedom and revenge after the beating and raping of his wife, violence is metered out resulting in his death by hanging along with the other runaway slaves who participated in the killing of slave holding families.
