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.” Slavery – Charles Ball, former slave COTTON AS % OF U.S. EXPORTS, 1800-1860 60 58 52 50 Note: In 2005, the U.S. is still the world % cotton leader in cotton production. 40 % 32 30 20 10 7.1 0 1800 Slavery 1820 YEAR 1840 1860 WESTWARD MOVEMENT MAP OF LEWIS AND CLARK’S JOURNEY OF EXPLORATION Westward Movement CAUSES OF THE CIVIL WAR Abolitionists had numerous meetings and “anti-slavery fairs” Causes of the Civil War THE CIVIL WAR “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. The Civil War Banknotes from the early 19th century featured scenes of slavery.
