slaves would fight for their freedom if they could but their masters werent allowing them to read or to write, or leave their masters home, so all the slaves couldnt meet up and make weapons, and make a big army ready. at the time the whites had empowerment over the blacks, and if the blacks got caught leaving they would be wipped, basically they didnt have time, the power, the communication, or the resources.... but the good news is theyre free now
