Explanation:

Nathaniel "Nat" Turner was an American slave, whose failed rebellion in Southampton County, Virginia, is the most prominent example of blacks' resistance to the slave system prevailing in the southern states before the Civil War.

Virginia's legislative chamber considered the idea of abolishing slavery, but in a tight vote in which the recent rebellion had a decisive influence, it was decided to maintain slavery and increase repression against free slaves and blacks. The freedoms of all blacks in Virginia were cut and it was forbidden to question the slave system, to avoid that the discussion on the subject could encourage future revolts.

No other slave revolt inflicted such great damage to the community of slave owners in the United States. Nat Turner is considered a hero by some African-Americans and Pan-Africanists around the world.
