Answer 2

To understand what kind of violence was used against the African Americans, one can look at the example of Stono Rebellion:

"One of the most violent early slave uprisings began on Sept. 9, 1739, in Stono, South Carolina, on the Stono River about twenty miles from Charleston. The Stono Rebellion, the first mass slave revolt, was led by a slave named Jemmy. Apparently encouraged by Spanish missionaries and promised liberation, agroup of twenty slaves attacked a store and killed the two storekeepers. Armed with guns and powder, they set off for St. Augustine, Florida. Jemmy and his band eventually grew to about one hundred. During a ten-mile march, they killed approximately thirty white people before an armed militia caught them in a field. Forty-four of the rebellious died in the aftermath, and in one account the white planters "cutt off their heads and set them up at every Mile Post they came to." Meant as a warning to other rebellious slaves, the display grimly recalled the famed ancient rising of Spartacus, who led an army of slaves against the Roman legions. The Stono Rebellion was followed by two other uprisings in South Carolina that year."

"Though a small fraction (of slaves) went to the northern colonies to become domestics or do factory work, the vast majority ended up in the Deep South to work the rice, tobacco, and, later, cotton plantations. Here was the scene of the greatest myth of the slave period - the image of slaves as docile, somewhat childlike laborers content with their situation. It was a paternalistic image perpetuated by slaveowners, who wanted to present slavery as somewhat beneficial to the slaves. This myth continued into this century and might be the greatest sin of books and films like 'Gone With The Wind'."
