There's another form of resistance that was very important: Culture
Slaves maintained and developed their own cultures, kept or modified their religious beliefs and folklores, held onto their languages, identities, music and more. This IS a form of resistance - in a system which relies on the outrageous claim that -you are not a full human-, holding onto the personal and cultural markers is a way of rejecting this and declaring one's humanity.

The
1739. changing laws in order to cling to arms in fear of the subjugated rising to rebel the unjust institution. huh. Fascinating to understand similarities related modern fears. Humans do react consistently when faced with the moral hypocrisy of oppressing other humans. they consistently fear the unjustly oppressed seeking vengeance due to reasonable anger of denying basic equality of liberty inherent to all humans.

10: 23 -Treating enslaved people with less cruelty but continuing to keep them enslaved isn-t really an act of benevolence. -
This is for the descendant of slave owners who I saw in a news story that hoped their ancestors were the -good kind of slave owners-. and said it to the descendant of the person whose family had been enslaved.

It is right that the success or failure of the rebellion is not the point, but the bare fact that it happened. As with the Warsaw Ghetto uprisings and the other risings in the Holocaust, there too, winning was never the point. They knew they would all die whether they rebelled or not.

-These attacks weren't haphazard, or indiscriminate. -
Um, what attacks? This is the first mention of the people attempting to gain their freedom attacking anyone. Up to this point you've only talked about a group of enslaved people dropping their tools and walking south together.

I really appreciate the fact that the speaker in these videos is Black because far too often Black History is taught by the white people and after a long history of distortion of facts to make them look better it feels better to learn about Black History from a Black scholar.

I am enraged that schools did not speak about any of these, in the 80s classroom it was presented as if enslaved people were waiting for Lincoln to say -well okay, y'all can go now - This is WHAT education transparency should be.

It's depressing that the only slave revolt I ever learned about in high school or college was the one lead by a white guy (John Brown. This video is literally the first time I've ever heard of the Stono Rebellion.
