Nat Turner was an African American preacher who envisioned a day in enslavement of African and American people.

Explanation:

During the era of slavery, Nat Turner who was also an enslaved African American preacher became a leader of a movement meant to rebel against slavery. He led both free and enslaved African-American in the rebellion that caused deaths of approximately 60 white people and 120 blacks.

The movement was suppressed by troops and white civilians who were trained as troops. These organised groups together with mob instigated attacks on black people resulting in death and other casualties. Other black people in the community who were not part of the rebellion were also affected and injured.
