Question

Complete the following paragraph about enslaved people's efforts to revolt or acquire independence.

Answer 1

There were several instances during the colonial or Revolutionary Era where enslaved people attempted revolt or fight to their own independence. The first nation where a slave uprising was successful was Haiti.

The rebellion resulted in the creation of brutal slave codes that would not be lifted until after the Civil War.

This revolution influenced the thinking of the slaves in the other American nations. However, the rulers became more restrictive to avoid the rebelion of the slaves.
