This woodcut, published in 1831 with a story about the Southampton Rebellion, was titled "Horrific Massacre in Virginia." The scale of Nat Turner’s 1831 rebellion was unprecedented in the history of American slave uprisings. Over the course of two days, Turner and his followers moved from plantation to plantation in Southampton County, Virginia, killing approximately 55 to 65 white people, including men, women, and children. While some contemporary reports exaggerated the number of victims to fuel fear and justify harsh retaliation, the rebellion was nonetheless one of the deadliest slave revolts in U.S. history. Turner’s group, which initially consisted of a small number of men, grew as more enslaved people joined along the way, swelling to around 70 participants at its peak. Despite their efforts, the rebellion was ultimately suppressed by local militias and federal troops, leading to brutal retaliation against both rebels and innocent Black individuals in the region. The uprising sent shockwaves through the South, resulting in stricter slave laws and widespread repression.
