Abstract

Slave discontent and rebelliousness were constant in the history of slavery in the United States. From the colonial period to the end of the 1850s, slave revolts or conspiracies were very common. During this period, slaves did whatever they could to earn their freedom or oppose to the system. Among these slave uprisings, Southampton slave revolt, or Nat Turner's rebellion, in 1831 was the most famous and biggest event. The purpose of the paper is trying to provide a primary view about this slave revolt. In addition to study the development of Nat Turner's rebellion, this paper will also focus on the history and pattern of slave revolts in the United States, the basic background of Nat Turner and Southampton County, Virginia, and the consequence of their revolt.
