When I was in my History class, we were given a few choices by the teacher:
a) Do nothing about it, just spend the rest of your life as a slave
b) Run away every time you get a chance and take the risk of being whipped
c) Be an 'owners pet' and snitch on anyone that plans on running away and be in the owners good books
I didn't know which one to pick...I would be crap at running for the train...I'm allergic to pain and I don't wan to be horrible to my people...
What would you do?

Off the chart, (D)
Commit suicide.
Its like the slaves that jumped off the ships and drowned,rather than endure the nasty condition
of their existence.
And I'm sure that God did not frown down upon this action to get
out of a horrendous situation.

Run away, but I'd think it through very carefully. I'd try to gather information about the location of the fewest concentration of people, collect as much non-perishable, but edible foods and keep them in a place convenient for my retrieval, tell no one of my intentions, and just stay low key. But I would always try to get away.

Wow! This is a hard question. I really don't know what I would do but with the midset that I have now, I would probably runaway every chance that I got and wish for death when they caught and whipped me. I would welcome death, I feel. It is better to die than to be a slave.

If I was a black slave in the 1800's I would probably be lying in a bed not moving and not doing anything but crapping myself because I would be around 300 years old!
