Response to a Slave Rebellion - Nat Turner's Rebellion
By Sharon Fabian

Nat Turner's Rebellion

²     Nat Turner was an intelligent and very religious young man. He also became something of a mystery, someone who claimed to have seen visions. As an adult, he remained a mysterious figure. Many questions remain about Nat Turner to this day.

³     We do know that Nat Turner was the leader of a slave rebellion that took place in Virginia in 1831. He led a group of about 60 or 70 slaves. These rebels began at the Travis plantation where Turner was a slave. They killed the entire Travis family. Then, they moved on to other plantations. In the end, a total of about 60 plantation owners and family members had been killed.
