Slave resistance
Slave resistance refers to the various ways enslaved people opposed their oppression despite the risks involved. This included acts like work slowdowns, sabotage, escaping, or uprising efforts, aimed at undermining the system’s power. Resistance was a form of asserting their humanity and seeking freedom, often taking covert or overt forms. It demonstrated resilience and defiance in the face of brutal conditions, contributing to the broader fight against slavery and inspiring future movements for justice.
