Answer:
A consequence of the Nat Turner revolt was that panic and fear of black people increased in the Southern states.
Explanation:
Nat Turner's revolt in 1831 was the largest and most violent slave revolution in all of US history. This case was the culmination of a progressively increasing tension between blacks and whites in Virginia in the 1830s, due to the economic crisis, coupled with the large proliferation of slaves.
The head and inspirer of the bloody stand was the 30-year-old black slave Nat Turner, who on August 21, 1831 began a march with six of his original followers to the city of Jerusalem in Southampton County, Virginia. The day after the campaign began, Turner's team was already 70, with a report summarizing 59 deaths (10 men, 14 women, 35 children). The County authorities immediately mobilized 3,000 men, however, it took more than 2 months for the slaughter promoter to be discovered and apprehended, discovered in his hideout by a villager and driven to Jerusalem. There, he was tried, convicted and eventually hanged with 16 of his comrades on November 11 of the same year.
As a result of this rebellion, tougher laws against slave insurrections were passed. In addition, they began to exercise more control over their activities, which worsened the situation of these people in the Southern plantations.
