326.Slave Rebellion in Virginia ,1831
At about the time that Garrison established the Liberator at Boston , a slave rebellion broke out in Virginia . The rebels were led by a slave named Nat Turner , and the rebellion is often called " Nat Turner ＇ s Rebellion .＂ It was a small affair and was easily put down . But the Southerners were alarmed , because they felt that the Northern antislavery agita - tion would surely lead to more rebel - lions . They called upon the government to forbid the sending of the Libera - tor and similar " incendiary publications ＂ through the mails .
