He grouped up with others and created a rebellion that lasted only a few days, but ended with the deaths of 55 to 65 men, women, and children. Nat Turner was later turned in by a farmer and hanged. So were his actions justified? Nat Turner was a madman who helped a good cause, but in the wrong way and for the wrong reasons.
