For example, in 1978, Maya Angelou published the poem “Still I Rise” about the experience of being a black woman in America. One

of the messages of the poem is that, despite verbal and physical violence against her, she still continues forward. In 1999, 2Pac released “Still I Rise,” which contained many allusions to Angelou’s poem. By using allusion, 2Pac linked his story to Angelou’s, implicitly showing a history of violence toward black people in America without spelling it out for his audience.
Read the following excerpts.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.
– Maya Angelou, “Still I Rise”

Act up if you feel me, I was born not to make it, but I did,
The tribulations of a ghetto kid, still I rise.

Still I (still I) I rise (I rise,)
Please give me to the sky (the sky.)
And if (and if) I die (I die,)
I don't want you to cry.
– 2Pac, “Still I Rise”

How did the election of abraham lincoln further divide the united states?
katrin2010 [14]
The election of Abraham Lincoln split the United States tremendously. With the election of Lincoln, southerners feared that their way of life was in danger. They felt that Lincoln's election would eventual result in outlawing the institution of slavery.

This fear caused southern states to take dramatic action. Roughly one month after the election of Lincoln, South Carolina seceded (left) the United States. After South Carolina, states like Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi seceded as well. Ultimately the secession of states like this resulted in the creation of the Confederate States of America, which sets the scene for the Civil War.

Running away or fleeing, feigning as though sick and sabotaging the property of the slave holders are some acts of resistance. Slavery existed in the southern states and it had taken a toll on the younger men who were made slaves and hired to any plantations or run errands for their owners. Slaves would flee to north but was not easy. If they were caught, they were given death penalty too.

Pretending to be sick is mostly practiced by women slaves. They were permitted by their owners in order to save their child bearing capacity.

Incapacitating or damaging the property of the slave holders is another form of resistance which annoyed their owners.
