17. Bellwork Slaves did not revolt very often, however, they did protest in three ways: work slow downs, breaking tools, and pretending to be sick. How would you protest in each situation? (You can make up your own, probable, way). You have recently been brought to the Plantation as a slave. The master keeps shouting at you to work harder. You have been chosen to be the taster for the master’s food. You are out working in the fields. It is very hot and you are fed up with working. The master has a lot of animals – sheep, pigs and chickens – that are used to supply food. You are working in the blacksmiths making tools for other slaves to use in the fields. It is evening, a group of slaves are sitting round the fire. Someone has a drum.
