Which of the following is true of slave resistance in the colonial period?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Some slaves who were the offspring of white traders or had some exposure to English language and the legal system were able to turn to the courts for help or negotiate for better working conditions. However, this option was later removed by Virginia lawmakers who passed laws preventing mixed-race children from inheriting their fathers' freedom and banning slaves from accessing the legal system. Choice A is incorrect because runaway slaves were a common occurrence in the colonial period. Choice C is incorrect because while there were a number of slave rebellions (such as the Stono Rebellion and the Nat Turner Rebellion), there was no wholesale revision of slave codes in response to these events. Choice D is incorrect because while slavery was a new concept to some enslaved Africans brought to the colonies, this did not prevent them from resisting or attempting to escape.
