How did blacks respond to the condition of slavery?

Answer 1

I think the black community yearned for freedom and felt dehumanized by the way white people were treating them. The black community tried to maintain a family life in slavery. However unlike the white farmers in the south, the black community kept their culture and avoided first cousin marriages. Some blacks were free and were considered almost a third race without the rights of whites but did not have to answer to a slave owner. An older black colonization movement happened in the 1830s that fought to demolish slavery.
