Document Summary

The topic i decided to explore throughout the remainder of this semester is nat. Turner and the implications of the slave rebellion he led. Carried by his religious and spiritual convections and visions, nat turner led a violent uprising that would dramatically change the course of history forever. Followed by a pack of fellow slaves and free men of color, carrying only blunt instruments knives, axes, etc. turner traveled door to door, murdering every white individual they encountered. In the end, the rebels brutally killed at least cifty-cive white individuals mothers, children, etc. to death. The aftermath of the rebellion were plentiful and detrimental. Although the state considered abolishing slavery after the barbaric actions of. Nat turner, the legislative of virginia instead voted to punish the black community extensively. In addition to the new laws enacted to further restrict the liberty of blacks, the already delicate relationship between black slaves and white masters was furthered destabilized by the rebellion.
