Answer:

Breaking tools, feigning illness, staging slowdowns, and committing acts of arson and sabotage.

Explanation:

The most notable slave revolts in American history include the Stono Rebellion in 1739, the Gabriel Prosser conspiracy in 1800, the Denmark Vesey plan in 1822, and Nat Turner's Rebellion in 1831. The only successful rebellions were the Stono Rebellion and Nat Turner's Rebellion. White Southerners were able to thwart the plans of the other uprisings before they could be executed.

After the slave insurrection in Saint-Domingue (now known as Haiti) was successful and the province gained independence from France, Spain, and Britain in 1804, many slave owners in the United States grew fearful.

Those who were enslaved in the American colonies (and subsequently the United States) understood well well the difficulty of organizing a successful uprising. They were vastly outnumbered by white people. Slaves could not defeat Whites with firearms even in areas like South Carolina, which had 47% White residents in 1820. 

The practice of importing slave-able Africans to the United States stopped in 1808. Slavers relied on a growth in their slave population to provide them with more workers. Slaves were literally "breding," so many were afraid to rise up for fear of what could happen to their families if they did.

Answer:

Many resisted slavery in a variety of ways, differing in intensity and methodology. Among the less obvious methods of resistance were actions such as feigning illness, working slowly, producing shoddy work, and misplacing or damaging tools and equipment. Breaking tools, feigning illness, staging slowdowns, and committing acts of arson and sabotage--all were forms of resistance and expression of slaves' alienation from their masters. Running away was another form of resistance.

¿A qué nos referimos cuando hablamos sobre interculturalidad? * a)Es corregir a mi compañero que dijo "haiga", explicándole como
den301095 [7]

La respuesta correcta a esta pregunta es B)Es observar, escuchar, conocer y compartir las tradiciones y costumbres de culturas diferentes a la mía y valorarlas.

Cuando hablamos sobre interculturalidad, nos referimos a "observar, escuchar, conocer y compartir las tradiciones y costumbres de culturas diferentes a la mía y valorarlas."

La interculturalidad nos permite mostrar respeto por las diferentes culturas y formas de pensar de otros países y regiones. Eso también fomenta la tolerancia entre los países, ya que invita a que sepamos escuchar con atención la manera en la que una persona que piensa y vive diferente a mi, con objeto de entender la diversidad que tenemos como humanos. Si respetamos y ponemos atención a las costumbres, tradiciones, idea, y cultura de los demás, y ellos hacen lo mismo con nosotros, aprenderemos muchas cosas pero también nos daremos cuenta que en el fondo, los humanos somos muy similares.

What was the purpose of earldoms
bulgar [2K]

Hello Martincoretox9aum, an earl is a member of the nobility. The title is Anglo-Saxon in origin, akin to the Scandinavian form jarl, and meant "chieftain", particularly a chieftain set to rule a territory in a king's stead. In Scandinavia, it became obsolete in the Middle Ages and was replaced by duke (hertig/hertug/hertog). In later medieval Britain, it became the equivalent of the continental count (in England in the earlier period, it was more akin to a duke; in Scotland it assimilated the concept of mormaer). However, earlier in Scandinavia, jarl could also mean a sovereign prince.<span>[citation needed]</span> For example, the rulers of several of the petty kingdoms of Norway had the title of jarl and in many cases they had no less power than their neighbours who had the title of king. Alternative names for the rank equivalent to "Earl/Count" in the nobility structure are used in other countries, such as the hakushaku of the post-restoration Japanese Imperial era.In modern Britain, an earl is a member of the peerage, ranking below a marquess and above a viscount. A feminine form of earl never developed; instead, countess is used.
