What type of slave insurrection was malingering?

"Malingering" was the enslaving owner's term for a Black person who they believed was faking illness. Plantation physicians often recommended treatments of "veiled medical violence" to jolt the person out of fakery and back to work. The majority of doctors and plantation owners never considered that the deplorable conditions of enslavement actually contributed to, or caused genuine illnesses. Laziness was always the reason for "malingering' in their estimation--at least until the person fell dead. This is not to say that the enslaved did not use "malingering" at times to gain time to plan an escape. (See pages 30-31 in Harriet A. Washington's, "Medical Apartheid-The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans from Colonial Times to the Present" for details).
