Slavery In 'Kentucky Slave Laws'

Slavery has been around for centuries. It will forever and always be something horrific and terrifying all over the world, especially to African Americans. Even after time passed after the Slave Trade did former slaves have to deal with painful flashbacks of everything they tried to survive through during that time period. Slaves would be whipped, lashed, slashed, branded or even worse, killed, if they refused to follow any of their masters orders, no exceptions. They began to rebel against the laws after years of the same punishment. The importance was the history of slaves, and the fact that it began to mix with “ adaption and resistance “ from slaves, which was very rare but bold. With that being stated I agree with the statement because without slaves taking some of these particular actions they would have never gotten out of the situations they were in.
Throughout almost each and every colonie was aware of the idea “ anti-slavery “. Then,
the Middle Passage, a journey undertaken by slave ships from West Africa to the West Indies, occurred. Which began movements against slavery. There were 2 major events, the on-ship rebellion which is now considered the MIddle Passage and the turning point of the Revolutionary war. Woolman and Quaker Anthony Benezet created perspectives that are now talked about as inspiring and powerful. He separated the idea’s of two different anti-slavery’s. Books, articles, reports and etc have been written to better explain. And each book, article, etc had a separate effect on each and every fight.
Both slaves and Americans opposed slavery with unlawful acts and participation into slavery.
And politically as well through different forms of letting their voices be heard, in any way possible. Religious views were evoked before and after the war due to acts of pro-slavery. In other words, this all began because slaves were sick and tired of the cruel abuse they had to experience. They were all unjust and unnecessary in my personal opinion. Stated in “Kentucky Slave Laws” the author provided examples that showed and elaborated on the restrictions of slaves. For example, in the mid 1700’s there was a law created that any of the slaves found outside their restricted areas without a written pass would receive lashes or whips as a punishment which shows us, vividly, the cruelty they went through.
To conclude, I agree with the idea of combination of adaption and resistance because of what slaves went through, and I believe American citizens and slaved both opposed to slavery in various ways, with or without the
knowledge.
