Nat Turner was an enslaved religious man born in 1800 who had visions and led a slave rebellion in 1831, killing 50 to 60 whites. He was later caught, sentenced to death, and hanged. While other slaves involved were also caught, slave uprisings continued as slaves fought against the injustice of being denied rights as humans.
