There is no historical record of a single individual who is named as the person who taught Nat Turner how to read and write. However, it is generally believed that Nat Turner, who was born into slavery, was taught these skills during his early years by his slave owners or their family members. Some sources suggest that his master's son may have taught him to read, possibly with the intent of Turner becoming a preacher, as literacy was not widely encouraged or allowed for African-American slaves at the time.
