It was important because it was a turning point. He was a man who was fed up and he did order is posse to kill all white people. This attitude is not good, but it is something that is understandable in context. If you were treated like an animal your entire life, denied your rights as a human being, you may very well snap too.

He killed 60 white people, mainly children.

But the reaction was extraordinary. He and his posse were rounded up, they were executed including Turner. And many blacks throughout Virginia were murdered, guilty or not.

After Nat Turner's Rebellion, there was a widespread fear that a similar revolt would take place. White militias began to form to retaliate against African Americans. Southern slaves passed new laws including prohibiting the education of slaves and free African Americans, restricting rights of assembly, white ministers had to be present at black worship services and other restrictions of civil rights. Along with the 56 slaves accused and executed for the participation on the revolt, 100 - 200 innocent slaves were killed by militias and mobs.

Nat Turner had ordered his followers to "kill all the white people", including women and children. The rebels killed approximately 60 white men, women and children; most were hacked to death with axes, stabbed, or bludgeoned. The most numerous casualties were children. In one instance, Turner and his insurgents stopped at the house of Levi Waller where they killed him, his wife, and children. Ten of the children were decapitated and their headless bodies piled in the front yard.
