Nat Turners Rebellion
Nat Turner’s Rebellion all started on August 22, 1831 through August 23, 1831. To me, I think it’s kinda strange how it only lasted a day. This event took place in Virginia. The people who were involved in the Rebellion were slaves, freed slaves, Nat Turner, and Thomas Grey ect. A lot of people were involved in this. Nat Turner would take about 60 to 70 slaves with him to be free. If they got captured, the slaves would’ve gone to trial duty. -
Nat Turner's Rebellion Part 3
This event occurred because slaves didn’t want to be slaves anymore. All they wanted to do was be free and not work for someone else. They were sick and tired for working for the southerns. So they decided to make this Rebellion “Nat Turner Rebellion.” -
Nat Turner's Rebellion Part 2
Some slaves got to be free, but a lot of slaves had to go back to the south. Their was punishment to whomever escaped from their owners. Some punishment were some people got killed, head chopped off, got hung, sent to jail, and had some violence involved too. The southern people would do this because they made the other slaves that didn’t escape, suffer and had to watch what would happened if they tried to escape. Making them be scared so that they wouldn’t try this Rebellion. -
Harreit Tubman
She was born as a slave in Maryland on the eastern side of shore. It all started in 1849 when she left her family behind to escape to be a free women.

At this time Zachary Taylor was president of the United States, but on July 9th he had passed away and Millard Fillmore had to take over while the law was changing about slavery. The Fugitive Slave Act was involved with this Compromise. Once the bill was passed the Fugitive Slave Act would be set up differently. This made the Underground Railroad more active than ever once the Fugitive Slave Act was passed. -
Compromise or 1850 Part 3
