Explanation:
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.

The growing ethnic diversity in the colonies, primarily in Spanish colonies had several consequences both positive and negative. On the positive side, there was a enrichment of cultures given the escenario where people from different parts of the world (Europe, Africa, indigenous people) and their traditions started to spread around the continent. It also helped to increase the population after the war (independence war, federalist wars, etc). On the negative side, it created a closed minded vision about the mixture of races and the purity of blood. At the same time, mixed race people ,depending on their parentage, could have more or less access to social, economic and political benefits.
