Turner's capture and execution on November 11, 1831, solidified the narrative surrounding his rebellion. Tried and sentenced to death, he maintained that his actions were divinely ordained and part of a holy mission. His story sparked a complex dialogue about the morality of violence in the fight against oppression. While some viewed Turner as a martyr for freedom, others condemned the brutality of his methods. His legacy continues to evoke debate about the means of achieving social change and has left an indelible mark on discussions surrounding race and justice in America.
