Nat Turner led a slave rebellion in Virginia in 1831, which resulted in the deaths of around 60 white individuals and the execution of many enslaved people. In the aftermath, Turner was captured, tried, and hanged. His rebellion led to widespread panic among slaveholders, resulting in harsher laws against enslaved people and free blacks, further entrenching the institution of slavery in the South. The revolt also sparked a national debate over slavery and heightened tensions leading up to the Civil War.
