THE CONFESSION OF NAT TURNER, 1831
*
In the summer of 1831, Nat Turner led a rebellion of some 70
slaves in Southampton
County, Virginia. After planning the rebellion, Turner and
six other slaves killed Turner's owner and then created a slave army. They
gathered arms as they marched from plantation to plantation on the way to a
nearby town. Nearly 60 white men, women, and children were killed before the
slaves were scattered by a group of white people on horses. Turner escaped into
hiding. In the aftermath of the rebellion more than 120 slaves were killed by
white people. Turner was later captured, tried, and executed by hanging in the
fall of 1831.
