DISCUSSION TOPIC:

• What strategies did black slaves adopt in order to survive the institution of

slavery?

• Look at the map of slave rebellions here (click to viewLinks to an external

site.). Where were slave rebellions most likely to take place? Under which

system of labor (gang labor or task labor)? What does that tell you about

slaves in areas that did not tend to revolt? Were they more docile? Happier?

More accepting of their situation in slavery?

**NOTE: This discussion never fails to bring out A LOT of crazyness. Look at

the map with an unbiased eye and check your crazyness before you answer.
