Slavery in American Culture

Question 2 • LPS US History I (CR) - MP2

Which identifies the most common way enslaved workers resisted enslavement?

Answer
A
They caused work slowdowns.
B
They published personal narratives.
C
They became fugitives and ran away.
D
They took part in bloody armed revolts.

Explanation

Enslaved people often resisted in ways that were less likely to bring immediate punishment, such as working slowly, pretending to be ill, or damaging tools. Work slowdowns were widespread and could disrupt the labor system without requiring an organized revolt or escape. Running away and armed rebellions also occurred, but they were less common; publishing narratives was not an everyday form of resistance.
