Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Running away was a common form of resistance in the colonial period. Colonial newspapers frequently ran ads from slave owners looking for their runaway property, indicating a significant number of slaves attempted to escape. While some rebellions did occur (such as the Stono Rebellion in 1739), they were not widespread enough to prompt wholesale revisions of slave codes. While some slaves did seek refuge in French Canada, this was not the only destination for runaways. Option A is incorrect as runaways were not rare, and Option D is incorrect as slaves understood the concept of freedom, even if they were new to the colonies.
