Question

Which is a way enslaved people openly or actively resisted enslavement?


by taking extra food or supplies


by pretending to be sick or injured


by running away from the plantation


by breaking equipment or tools

Answer 1

All of the options listed are ways that enslaved people resisted enslavement, but the most active form of resistance among them is **by running away from the plantation**. This act of flight was a significant and courageous way to defy the system of slavery. The other actions, such as taking extra food, pretending to be sick, or breaking tools, can also be seen as forms of everyday resistance, but running away was often a direct and bold challenge to the institution of slavery.
