Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Slavery in the United States was challenged by some slaves through acts of resistance and sabotage. While slavery was legally defined and upheld prior to the Revolutionary War, it was not until the Emancipation Proclamation and the 13th Amendment that it was abolished. Slavery was a permanent status for most slaves and is still an issue in the form of modern-day slavery in various parts of the world.
