Nat was a slave and the property of Samuel Turner of Southampton County, Virginia who led a revolt which led to the death of 57 white men, women and children in 1831. He may have been delusional, he certainly believed that he had a direct relationship with God and was being given heavenly instructions and signs to lead an armed revolution. His band of followers probably never numbered more then 50 men, and the hostilities ended within two days. He was captured, tried, found guilty and executed by hanging on 11 November 1831 in Jerusalem, Virginia. In a throwback to a more ancient time, his lifeless body was was then publicly whipped, he was beheaded and quartered. Another 55 alleged conspirators were executed. If Nat's actions were the result of heroism or madness hardly matters. It did have serious repercussions. Because the revolt had happened, and had been led by a literate slave, education was seriously impacted. Abolitionists like John Brown saw the possibility of slave revolt having a chance if they were properly armed and slave owners began their preperations for a war that was becoming inevitable.
