Nat Turner's Rebellion took place in Southhampton Couty, Virginia, in August 2831, led by Nat Turner. It was a failed rebellion since it was effectively suppressed, 56 slaves accused of being part of the rebellion were executed and many non-participant slaves were punished in the frenzy. It's aftermath, however, truly encapsulated the issues of slavere and race in America: it led to the pass of new laws that prohibited the education of both slaves and free black people, they also prohibited the rights of assembly and other civil liberties for free black people, and required a white minister to be present at all worship services.
