Nathaniel "Nat" Turner (October 2 1800 – November 11 1831) was a American slave whose failed slave rebellion in Southampton County, Virginia, was the most remarkable instance of black resistance to enslavement in the antebellum Southern United States and has become a reference of justification for the American Civil War.
Early life
Turner was born in Southampton County, Virginia. He was singularly intelligent, picking up the ability to read without being taught and experimenting with homemade paper and gunpowder. He grew up deeply religious and was often seen fasting and praying. He frequently received visions which he interpreted as being messages from God. These greatly influenced his life. For example, when Turner was 21 years old he ran away from his master, but returned a month later after receiving a vision. He became known among fellow slaves as "The Prophet."

@106andpark I would follow Nat Turner because I would want to know his thoughts from his mind about what he felt about leading the slaves
