Beschreibung:

Nat Turner's Rebellion was a violent slave revolt led by Nat Turner in Southampton County, Virginia, in August 1831, resulting in the deaths of about 60 white people. The largest slave uprising in the antebellum southern United States, Turner's rebellion caused a profound shock across the South, leading to harsher slave laws and a strengthening of the pro-slavery, anti-abolitionist sentiments that intensified national divisions over slavery.
