Description

Resistance to slavery by African people developed almost as soon as the institution itself. Running away remained the number 1 problem for slave holders. Other forms of resistance on the part of Africans included legal petitions, educational pursuits, small- and large-scale rebellions, as well as other forms of protest. Slavery officially ended after the Civil War and the signing of the 13th amendment both occurring in 1865.
