Nat Turner was someone who was sick and tired of slavery. So he gathered a bunch of slaves and some white people and at night him and his group went to peoples houses, killed the slave masters and freed the slaves. He managed to kill a handful of people and freed a lot of slaves before he was caught. Once he was caught he was hanged for his actions. Harriet Tubman escaped from slavery and then came back for more slaves and took them on the under ground railroad, to freedom.
