Nat Turner is MOST known in American history for A) leading an unsuccesful slave revolt in Virginia in the 1830s. The other responses do not apply as they occurred long before and after his death. Turner met his death some thirty years before the Civil War in the United States of America so he would not have been present to lead the first all-black army regiment or be a leading intellectual abolitionist orator before the Civil War. He was also born a slave in the United States and so was not the first African slave to come to British North America.

Although Turner was not an intellectual abolitionist before the start of the Civil War, he was a staunch believer in the injustices of slavery and the need for the enslaved individuals to determine their own destiny and to do so by rising up and taking it themselves. He did not think that they should wait on the abolitionist feelings to spread and take hold in the planter class because as he rightly deduced, this could take years. His rebellion was a way to ensure that this happened as quickly as possible. Even though the rebellion itself was unsuccessful, it did have some impact on the myths held by the plantation owners that the enslaved population was happy with their lives and wanted to continue as they were. It also strengthened the anti-abolitionist sentiments that existed in the South of the country and encouraged the passage of certain laws that severely restricted the freedom and humanity of the enslaved population there.
