Nat Turner's Rebellion was a significant event in American history that took place in Southampton County, Virginia in 1831. Nat Turner, an enslaved African American preacher and leader, organized and led a violent slave rebellion against white slave owners and their families.

On the evening of August 21, 1831, Nat Turner and a group of followers began their rebellion by going from plantation to plantation, killing white inhabitants and freeing enslaved individuals along the way. The rebellion lasted for about two days before being violently suppressed by local militias and state forces.

The aftermath of the rebellion was brutal, with widespread fear and hysteria among white communities leading to retaliatory violence against the enslaved population. Nat Turner and his followers were captured, tried, and executed. Turner himself was later captured, tried, and executed.

The rebellion had a lasting impact on the institution of slavery in the United States, leading to harsher laws and restrictions on enslaved individuals and free Black people. It also sparked a national debate about slavery, with some using it to argue for abolition while others used it to justify harsher treatment of enslaved individuals.

Nat Turner's Rebellion remains a powerful symbol of resistance and struggle against oppression in Black history, and Nat Turner himself is remembered as a courageous leader who fought for freedom and justice.
