Colonization to Reconstruction Early U.S.
History Review

Spain controlled most of South and Central
America, much of the Caribbean, and parts of
North America. However territory that large was
difficult to control and therefore was open to
attack. Other European countries had seen the
riches brought back by Spain and were eager to
stake a claim.

• SLAVERY

16
Covert resistance
Covert resistance was the most subtle and common
form of resistance since the silent sabotage
could not be proven. Examples included faked
incompetence, pretending to not understand
directions, slowed pace of work, pretending to be
sick or petty theft. More extreme examples
included self-mutilation, arson, and suicide. The
Sambo stereotype of the lazy incompetent slave
was actually a deliberate subversive action on
the part of slaves.
I was never acquainted with a slave who believed
that he violated any rule of morality by
appropriating to himself any thing that belonged
to his master, if it was necessary to his
comfort. Charles Ball, former slave

• THE CIVIL WAR

23
The closeness of the place, and the heat of the
climate, added to the number in the ship, which
was so crowded that each had scarcely room to
turn himself, almost suffocated us. This produced
copious perspirations, so that the air soon
became unfit for respiration, from a variety of
loathsome smells, and brought on a sickness among
the slaves, of which many died, thus falling
victims to the improvident avarice, as I may call
it, of their purchasers.
Plan and Sections of a Slave Ship, 1789. The
Brookes carried 609 slaves (351 men, 127, women,
90 boys, and 41 girls) crammed into its decks.
