Childhood He was born October 2nd, 1800 in Southampton County Born on the Virginia plantation of Benjamin Turner Sold three times as a kid Thought he had super powers- he could describe events before he was born

Childhood to rule. He was raised in a deeply religious family Caused him to have frequent visions from god- the visions greatly influenced his life. When he was 21, he ran away from his master and returned a month later due to a vision. From then on, he was called “The Prophet” among his slaves. One vision was “the last shall rule, meaning the slaves were meant to rule.

Childhood Had a mom named Nancy, but didn’t know the father His mom raised him to hate slavery Was a preacher and taught slaves to read and write

Childhood The masters son taught him to read and write He was sold by the Turner family to a unsuccessful farmer.

Childhood Sold again to Joseph Travis February of 1831, a solar eclipse happened and Nat thought it was a sign from God telling him to escape.

Rebellion A second solar eclipse appeared the same year and he thought it was a sign from God, that a black man’s hand was reaching across the sun. It was supposed to begin July 4th, 1831 but he got sick, so it was postponed. On August 22nd he got better and the rebellion began

Rebellion Nat and seven other slaves killed the Travis family in their sleep They ran and left the Travis family dead. Over time, they got weapons and killed more people

Rebellion Spared only those who didn’t compare themselves to African Americans. Used weapons like axes and knives stole horses to ride.

Rebellion His “army” was made up of 70 slaves

Confession Nat confessed only to killing one person

Capture He hid for 2 months. Was in the Dismal Swamp area when he was found unintentionally by a farmer October 30th, 1831. He was sentenced to death following a trial. November 1st, 1831, he was hanged.

Consequences 200 blacks who were completely unrelated to the \ rebellion were killed by whites. Congress made it illegal to teach a black to read or write. Blacks couldn’t gather together without a white priest present.
