The name of the man is Nat Turner and the revolt is known as Nat Turner's Rebellion. This slave revolt, that took place in 1831, resulted in the death of roughly 55-65 people. Almost all of these individuals were white. This slave rebellion scared many white Americans in the South, as they were afraid that this type of violent rebellion might be repeated by other slaves. However, slave owners did their best to prevent this from happening, by threatening slaves with physical violence or threatening to separate them from their family.
