How did slaves resist the demands of slaveholders?
What will be an ideal response?
The most effective way for students to address the question is to look at the issue of resistance as a continuum. At one end of the spectrum would be passive forms of resistance. Slaves broke tools and stole food. Riskier than passive resistance would be running away, though only a handful succeeded in winning permanent freedom. The most direct form of resistance was also the riskiest. Slaves carried out several rebellions, the bloodiest being the Nat Turner Revolt in 1831 . Strong students will also stress that the emergence of a distinct African American culture was in itself a form of resistance.
