On the month of August 22nd of 1831, a group of slaves killed a white planter in Virginia and his family. Therefore, more than sixty white planters were killed including their families. These orders were led by Nat Turner, who claimed that "God" told him to kill his enemies. Consequently, Turners revolt "died" by a local militia. In the defense of Turners revolt, pro-slavery writers would state that slavery "Creates the ideal community and the ideal world". The connection was that scientists tried to prove that black people were part of different "species" that is suited for slavery. Also, they would measure blacks heads to show that they were not intelligent, because of their brains and their bodies to show that they were "made" for slavery.
