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
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.”
Slavery

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.
