Guided Notes
Key concepts students will learn:
- •
Enslaved people maintained their culture by using their African names, keeping alive their West African and Caribbean languages, and telling folk tales.
- •
Enslaved people resisted dehumanization through subtle ways and outright rebellions, which were among the greatest fears of the slave holding elite.
- •
Nat Turner's Rebellion in 1831 led to the deaths of 57 white people and resulted in stricter measures of control over enslaved people, such as making it illegal to free a slave and to teach an enslaved person to read and write.
