Final answer:
Nat Turner's Rebellion caused widespread fear of further uprisings in the South, led to stricter regulations, and ended progress on easing the manumission process.
Step-by-step explanation:
False. Nat Turner's Rebellion indeed caused widespread fear of another uprising throughout the slaveholding South. In August 1831, Turner led one of the largest slave rebellions in United States history in Southampton County, Virginia. The insurrectionists killed approximately sixty white individuals before the rebellion was suppressed by local militia forces.
This event stimulated a climate of hysteria and panic among the white population, leading to rumors of further insurrections and the subsequent retaliatory killing and arrest of many African Americans, not only in Virginia but also in other Southern states.
As a result, Southern states enacted even stricter regulations, like Black Codes, to suppress the education and assembly of slaves and free blacks. Virginia, for instance, passed laws banning the teaching of reading and writing to slaves and required the presence of a licensed white minister at black congregational meetings.
