The teaching of the transatlantic slave system often focuses on how White Europeans enslaved Africans. We need to show students how enslaved Africans persistently resisted. These maps show the frequency & widespread nature of slave revolts.

Enslaved Africans resisted on a daily basis as well. This 18th century painting was intended to show African women as inherently violent, but it also shows how enslaved African women fought back against the men who enslaved & raped them.

Wake: The Hidden-History of Women-Led Slave Revolts by @WakeRevolt is an incredible graphic history showing how women played a critical role in slave revolts.

These maps & images can help us teach a more accurate history of the transatlantic slave system. Even though Africans were enslaved, they still had agency & resisted. You can read more about how to teach the transatlantic slave system in this post.
