Slave owners blamed a variety of people, events and things for making Nat Turner's slave revolt possible. Northern abolitionist were immediately blamed. They were accused of distributing abolitionist literature to black preachers, who were also blamed for the revolt. A warrant was actually issued for the arrest of William Garrison, the Northerner who published the Liberator", an infamous abolitionist magazine that actually began publication early in 1831. The slave codes (the laws governing the treatment of blacks) were also blamed for being too relaxed and lenient. Surprisingly even the "peculiar institution" itself was blamed by some whites bringing the usually taboo subject of emancipation to the forefront of topics discussed within the Virginia legislature. Of course white Virginians did not emancipate their slaves at that point, but instead decided to enforce much harsher slave codes. Some of the more superstitious from both races even blamed the weather. A strange atmospheric phonomenon had made it appear as though the sun was changing colors in Southampton County on Saturday August 13, 1831. Nat Turner's gruesome justice began on August 21, 1831.
