Question

I need help answering the Nat Turner rebellion questions. The first Question is asking what inspired Nat Turner to lead a slave uprising so what made him want to lead the slave uprising, what made him wanna do what he did. 

Answer 1

Nate Turner, contrary to common practice, was allowed to learn to read and write. He became a preacher on Benjamin Turner's plantation. He believed that he was chosen by God to lead a revolt of the slaves. An eclipse of the sun in 1831 was considered and "sign" and he and four other slaves planned a revolt for August of 1831.
