By secretly maintaining cultural traditions and organizing revolts.

Enslaved people resisted in many covert and everyday ways—preserving language, religion, family ties, work slowdowns, sabotage, running away, and occasionally planning uprisings—because open, daily rebellion or freely moving about was usually met with brutal punishment.
