African slaves resisted enslavement and the Southern plantation economy in a variety of ways, ranging from violent rebellion to sabotage, infanticide, suicide, running away, and the deliberate destruction of plantation property.
In 1700 in Virginia there were 6,000 slaves. By 1763 there were 170,000 slaves, about half the population. Throughout their 200 years of enslavement in North America Afro-Americans continued to rebel. Often they engaged in sabotage, slowdowns, and subtle forms of resistance if only to show their dignity as human beings.
