Nat Turner was the African American who led a significant slave revolt in the United States. In August 1831, he orchestrated a rebellion in Virginia, which resulted in the deaths of around 60 white individuals and led to severe reprisals against enslaved people. Turner's rebellion heightened tensions over slavery and contributed to the national conversation about abolition. He was captured and executed, but his actions left a lasting impact on the abolitionist movement.
