It was Nathaniel "Nat" Turner (1800-1831) who led a rebellion in Virginia against white slave owners on August 21, 1831; the rebellion failed and as a result, more than 100 slaves and 60 whites were killed - Turner was captured and hanged November 11, 1831 - William Styron's 1967 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, The Confessions of Nat Turner is an historical novel (with Turner speaking in first person) based upon The Confessions of Nat Turner: The Leader of the Late Insurrection in Southampton, Virginia, of which the latter is an authentic account of the rebellion in Nat Turner's own words as told to Thomas Ruffin Gray, a local area attorney in 1831.
