Birthday of Nat Turner

From Wikipedia: "Nat Turner (October 2, 1800 – November 11, 1831) was an enslaved Black carpenter and preacher who led a four-day rebellion of both slave and free Black people in Southampton County, Virginia, in August 1831. [...] Turner eluded capture but remained in Southampton County, in hiding. Slaves from a nearby house provided him with food. On October 30, a farmer named Benjamin Phipps discovered Turner hiding in a depression in the earth, created by a large, fallen tree covered with fence rails. [...] Turner was tried on November 5, 1831, for 'conspiring to rebel and making insurrection'. He pled not guilty; however, his lawyer made no arguments to defend Turner and called no witnesses. Turner was convicted and sentenced to death. [...] Turner was hanged on Friday, November 11, 1831, in Jerusalem [Virginia.]"
