Description
Turner and his confederates in conference. Nat Turner's Slave Rebellion took place in Virginia, in August 1831. Rebel slaves killed from 55 to 65 people, at least 51 being white. The rebellion was put down within a few days, but Turner survived in hiding for more than two months afterwards. When found, he was tried, convicted, sentenced to death, hanged and possibly beheaded. The state executed 56 slaves accused of being part of the rebellion, and many non-participant slaves were punished in the frenzy. Approximately 120 slaves and free blacks were murdered by militias and mobs in the area. History of American Conspiracies, 1863 (cropped and cleaned).
