Nana Nat Turner’s Revolution
Nana Nat Turner’s rebellion, also called the Southampton Insurrection, is probably the most famous slave uprising in North America. The revolt was brilliantly planned by Nana Turner and took place August 1831 in Southampton County, Virginia. The Nana Turner-led group of “freedom fighters” killed up to 65 people of European descent, the highest number of fatalities caused by a slave uprising in the American South. Though the rebellion was quelled within a few days, Nana Turner survived in hiding for more than two months afterward.
