So, we can't we use the word "negro?"

She is a negro, yes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:CE:C17E:2030:9420:2DB6:A9B1:831B (talk) 05:20, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Can't use the word "nigger" either, even though mainstream entertainers can use it without consequence. Refer to any rap song or George Carlin's 7 dirty words for perspective on "illegal" words. It's another NAACP/BLM-esque double standard for anyone not meeting the paper bag test.

Good article. But I think 'owner' or 'master' would do better than 'overseer' -- which made me think they might have killed someone other than the master. I could be wrong, I don't think anyone will be offended by the use of this terminology; Slavery is wrong, and use of these terms does not legitimize slavery.

The language appears to be taken from the PBS documentary, and calling him the overseer probably means that he was just that--a foreman or plantation manager rather than the owner. --Serapio 01:12, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Killed a bogus post linking this to the Arctic Monkeys :)

The Ken Burns Civil War PBS series appears to be the source for the claim that Alex Turner served in the 1st New Jersey Cavalry, but the National Park Service web site at http://www.civilwar.nps.gov/cwss/ contains a database of all Civil War soldiers and sailors. Alex Turner is not listed as a member of the 1st New Jersey Cavalry. I haven't changed this article because I'm not as smart as the folks at PBS, but I wonder if they are right about Alex Turner's service. - Robert Summers 3/10/2010. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nova3820 (talk • contribs) 20:32, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

merged info on Alex Turner

This article was the result of a merge between Alx/Daisy Turner and has some leftover stuff that isn't encyclopedia about Daisy but may be about Alex. I am moving it here for now... "He and his wife Sally had a homestead in Grafton, Vermont where they raised 16 children. His strength was prodigious, and the Grafton Storekeeper once bet that if Alex carried a one hundred fifty pound barrel of flour home (uphill and over three miles) without setting it down he could have it for free. Alex went ahead and did so to feed his family but at the same time he was followed by forty or so men who carried their own "little jugs of jimmyjohn and hard cider... and after they all got up, they all got drunk."
