Enslaved African Americans resisted slavery in various ways, including subtle forms of defiance such as work slowdowns, sabotaging equipment, and feigning illness. They also organized revolts and uprisings, with notable examples like Nat Turner's Rebellion in 1831. Additionally, many sought freedom through escape via the Underground Railroad or other means, demonstrating their determination to attain autonomy and challenge the institution of slavery.
