Which African American folk hero reflected slave resistance in using his wits and breaking the rules in order to succeed?
Br'er Fox
Br'er Rabbit***
Tar Baby
Uncle Remus
Question Information: Living by his wits. Br'er Rabbit was a trickster who succeeded through his wittiness rather than by his strength. At times, he even bent the rules in order to succeed. It was stories like these that enslaved families shared with their children, to teach values and as a form of entertainment when not working.

Which was a common method of slave resistance to enforced labor?
Faking illness***
Having children
Publishing pamphlets
Repairing tools
Question Information: Sick as a dog. Not exactly, but it was one way that slaves resisted forced labor, by pretending to be sick. Another common method of resisting forced labor was breaking tools. Remember that family bonds usually kept slaves from wanting to run away altogether, so they opted for negotiating for incentives or finding a way out of forced labor.

What deterred many slaves from attempting to escape?
Their family members were often on the same plantation.***
Their masters were required to reward them for good behavior.
They did not have the necessary skills to survive off the plantation.
They were continually monitored by guards on the plantation.
Question Information: Have you ever heard that blood is thicker than water? This means that the family bond is closer than anything else. This was especially true of enslaved people. Usually, they worked on a plantation with their family members, so they usually weren't too keen on running away. Instead they found other ways to deal with being enslaved, such as negotiating incentives with the plantation owners or finding a way out of forced labor.

National Bank veto
Maysville Road veto
political participation
This is what I found for the first one but idk if it's what you were looking for:
National Bank In 1832, a Renewal Bill for the United States Bank came up to the President, Andrew Jackson. He vetoed this bill for the Bank, and in the address that he included with the veto stated that he knew that this would be an issue, and that people would not like it.
Maysville Road Veto: The Maysville Road veto occurred on May 27, 1830, when United States President Andrew Jackson vetoed a bill that would allow the federal government to purchase stock in the Maysville, Washington, Paris, and Lexington Turnpike Road Company, which had been organized to construct a road linking Lexington, Kentucky, to Maysville on the Ohio River (Maysville being located approximately 66 miles/106 km northeast of Lexington), the entirety of which would be in the state of Kentucky.
I'm sorry but I couldn't find anything on that last one but I hope those first two will help you guys <3 Thanks for being one that actually asks questions X3
thanks "dont need to know my name" you helped me alot
The correct answer is: They did not have the necessary skills to survive off the plantation.
Many slaves were deterred from attempting to escape because they did not possess the necessary skills to survive outside the plantation. Slavery stripped individuals of their autonomy and often prevented them from learning skills beyond their assigned labor tasks. The system was designed to keep slaves dependent on their owners for basic needs such as food, shelter, and clothing.
To further explain how to arrive at this answer, one can analyze the other options:
1. Their family members were often on the same plantation: While this factor could have been a deterrent, it is not the best answer to the question. Some slaves did attempt to escape despite the potential separation from their family members. Additionally, the presence of family members could have also been a motivation to escape and reunite with them.
2. Their masters were required to reward them for good behavior: Although some slaveholders may have rewarded slaves for good behavior, rewards were generally minimal and temporary. This would not have been a strong deterrent as the desire for freedom outweighed any potential rewards.
3. They were continually monitored by guards on the plantation: While the presence of guards could have made escape attempts more challenging, it does not address the underlying reason why many slaves did not attempt to escape. Fear of punishment or risk of being caught could be deterrents, but they are not the primary reason.
Hence, out of the given options, the lack of necessary survival skills is the most significant deterrent that prevented many slaves from attempting to escape.
