In 1831 in Virginia there occured the only large scale negro slave revolt in American history led by an educated slave named Nat Turner. Most of the history of that account was supressed by the slave owners lest their slaves get ideas. This is a fictionalized account of that uprising and the amazing man who led it. The author has stuck to the facts so far as they are now known but took liberties with the individual conversations and doings of those involved.
