the following statement is not true. It is not Eulalia who discovers the revolt, but the woman working at the jail who overhears 2 slaves talking about it. Furthermore, the plot is not made up by local abolitionists, but by Brainard (who's from the North)

As time passes, Eulalia also discovers a plot by a group of local abolitionists to stage a large-scale slave rebellion, with aims to "free" the otherwise-content slaves of the plantation, and to murder both Moreland and Eulalia, despite their kindness to their slaves. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.95.165.97 (talk) 09:08, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Benignly or not benignly?

[edit]

The article states that unlike previous Anti-Tom novels, TPNB does not depict plantation owners as behaving benign toward their loyal slaves...then proceeds to state that Moreland behaves benignly toward his loyal slaves.

Is it just me, or is this entirely paradoxical? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.239.141.108 (talk) 02:46, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
