The revolt you are referring to is likely the Nat Turner Rebellion, which occurred in Virginia in 1831. Led by enslaved African American Nat Turner, the uprising aimed to overthrow the system of slavery and resulted in the deaths of approximately 60 white men, women, and children. In retaliation, white militias and mobs killed hundreds of enslaved individuals and free blacks. This rebellion had significant repercussions, leading to harsher laws against enslaved people and increased tensions between the North and South over the issue of slavery.
