Question

Name at least two forms of resistance used by enslaved Africans. What were the consequences of rebellion by enslaved people?

Answer 1

Answer:

"Day-to-day resistance" was the most common form of opposition to slavery. Breaking tools, feigning illness, staging slowdowns, and committing acts of arson and sabotage--all were forms of resistance and expression of slaves' alienation from their masters. Running away was another form of resistance.

The obvious effects of a slave rebellion are crackdowns on slaves such as the widespread violent reprisals that led to hundreds of deaths of both slaves and free people of color following the Nat Turner Revolt (Higginson, 1889), but there may be some less obvious results.
