"We can use primary and secondary sources to analyze the resistance of enslaved peoples in order to gain firsthand knowledge of their motivations at the time, as well as use modern forms of historical examination as a lens to analyze their resistance."

This response effectively highlights the importance of both primary sources (which provide direct evidence and insights from the time) and secondary sources (which offer analysis and interpretation) in understanding the complexities of enslaved peoples' resistance. It also acknowledges the value of modern historical methodologies in the interpretation of these events.
