Ok!. The first part states who he is in regards to the charges, so the leader of the insurrection in South Hampton in Virginia!.
It next states that he volunteered the confession to Thomas R!. Grey!. He has acknowledged that he is in prison, and he is there for a reason (he is being charged with a crime) and all of this was read to the Court of Sothampton!. There is also a document that states what happened during the insurrection and who was killed and murdered, who was brought before trial and what sentences they received!.
I hope this was kind of what you were looking for!Www@QuestionHome@Com
