Blacks resisted enslavement during both the earliest colonial times and the American civil war. Resistance took many forms, including rebellion, escape, sabotage, and forms of everyday resistance such as slowing down work. Examples of rebellion include the Stono Rebellion in South Carolina in 1739 and Nat Turner's rebellion in Virginia in 1831. The Underground Railroad was a network of secret routes and safe houses used by slaves to escape to freedom. These resistance efforts ultimately contributed to the abolition of slavery in the United States.
