Review the John Green video posted here: Crash Course: Slavery In the video you just watched, Green states, “The truth is, sometimes carving out an identity as a human being in a social order that is constantly seeking to dehumanize you, is the most powerful form of resistance. Refusing to become the chattel that their masters believed them to be is what made slavery untenable and the Civil War inevitable, so make no mistake, slaves fought back.” In other words, violent revolt was not the only form of resistance available to slaves. Nor was it the most common or effective form, as evidenced by many of these excerpts from slave narratives: Read: Slave Resistance (Excerpts from the WPA Slave Narratives)  Using the readings and resources provided in Unit 7 as well as the video and primary sources linked above, discuss the forms of resistance that were available to enslaved people in the pre-Civil War United States. In constructing your answer, consider the following: In what ways did enslaved people resist the authority of their enslavers? How did some resist the self-definition of "slave"? What acts and attitudes of invisible subversiveness did enslaved people pursue? How did they create a separate world on the plantation?
