Summarize the evidence provided of Nat Turner’s natural genius. How do others react to his intellectual abilities?

Respuesta :

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Nat Turner’s natural genius was based on his quick comprehension of difficult things. He learned to read and write when we have very young. People said he had a quick apprehension, a notorious trait for a young man his age. It is said that he had clairvoyance, that he received messages from God. He was known for his visions.

People noted and reacted to these abilities. People respected he was a very religious man and read the bible since he was a child. Some others were surprised by his intelligence and believed he was the one blessed with the skills to be the leader of a rebellion.

That is why, in 1831, he led the Southhampton insurrection of slaves in Virginia.
