Read this short excerpt from Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin involving a confrontation between Simon Legree and Tom, the slave. Compare this fictional account with Douglass’s account of his confrontation with the overseer Covey in Chapter 10 of the Narrative.What do these accounts tell us about slave rebellion, its perils, and its rewards?

How much was slavery a constant state of war between slaveowner and enslaved?
