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.
