How did slave resist slavery and why?

Slaves resisted slavery in many personal ways as well as more bolder, public ways.

They are as follows:

-They used African American churches, which they were sometimes but rarely permitted to attend, to sing songs promoting equality and hope, two things they could only dream of without the gift of music and the church

- They occasionally stirred up slave rebellions, such as in the case of Nat Turner at Harper's Ferry, Virginia.

- They occasionally, as is obvious, escaped their masters (which was difficult to do).

Slaves also held onto their culture and appreciated the values of family, which brough them closer to other blacks, free OR captive. Hope it helped! Ari
