Nat Turner's slave rebellion occurred in August 1831 as a response to the brutal conditions and systemic oppression experienced by enslaved people in Virginia. Turner, a literate enslaved man and preacher, believed he was chosen by God to lead his fellow enslaved individuals to freedom. The rebellion resulted in the deaths of about 60 white individuals and was met with severe retaliatory measures, leading to stricter slave laws and increased tensions surrounding slavery in the South. This uprising highlighted the desperate desire for freedom and the inherent violence of the institution of slavery.
