AP African American Studies Practice Quiz: Resistance and Revolts in the United States

Correct Answer: C

The text explicitly states, 'Enslaved people continually resisted their enslavement by slowing work, breaking tools, stealing food, or attempting to run away.' Organizing marches and leading mutinies were forms of larger revolts, not daily resistance.

The text notes that churches 'served as multifunctional sites for community gathering, celebration, mourning, sharing information, and, in the North, political organizing.'

Correct Answer: B

The text specifies that Washington 'sailed it to the Bahamas, knowing that the British had ended slavery in the West Indian colonies in 1833.' This was a calculated decision based on British law.

Correct Answer: D

The text states that the enslaved Africans who revolted in 1526 'escaped into nearby Indigenous communities.'

Correct Answer: C

The text directly states, 'Daily methods of resistance helped sustain the larger movement toward abolition.' This shows a direct, supportive link between small-scale and large-scale efforts.

Correct Answer: D

The text states that as a result of the Creole mutiny, 'nearly 130 African Americans gained their freedom in the Bahamas.' The German Coast Uprising was suppressed, and while the 1526 revolt and running away led to freedom for some, the text provides a specific, large number only for the Creole event.

Correct Answer: D

The text clearly states, 'In 1526 Africans enslaved in Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic) were brought to aid Spanish exploration along the South Carolina–Georgia coastline.'

Correct Answer: D

The text states that Charles Deslondes 'led them on a march toward New Orleans' during the German Coast Uprising of 1811. Madison Washington led the Creole mutiny, and Nat Turner's rebellion was inspired by religion but not detailed further.

Correct Answer: C

The text explicitly mentions that the German Coast Uprising, the largest revolt, 'was violently suppressed.' This highlights a major struggle for organized rebellions. While navigating to free territories was a challenge (as seen in the Creole mutiny), violent suppression was a direct and common struggle for land-based revolts.

Correct Answer: C

The text lists the functions as 'community gathering, celebration, mourning, sharing information, and, in the North, political organizing.' It does not mention running schools.
