Who were the key leaders and followers of the rebellion?
During the rebellion, several key leaders emerged to guide and mobilize their followers towards achieving their goals. One of the prominent leaders was John Brown, an abolitionist who believed in armed resistance to end slavery. Brown led the infamous raid on Harpers Ferry in 1859, aiming to launch a slave rebellion. Other leaders included Nat Turner, whose 1831 rebellion in Virginia resulted in the deaths of over fifty white people, and Gabriel Prosser, who planned a large-scale revolt in Virginia in 1800 but was betrayed before it could take place. These figures inspired many followers, both enslaved individuals and sympathizers, who believed that violence was a necessary means to achieve emancipation and overthrow the oppressive system of slavery.
