One example of active resistance by slaves was Nat Turner's Slave Rebellion in August of 1831. Rebel slaves led by Nat Turner killed 55 to 65 people, the highest number of fatalities of any slave uprising in the American South.

Another example was Gaspar Yanga's Revolt. Yanga was the leader of a maroon colony, a colony of runaway slaves, in the highlands near Veracruz, Mexico. Yanga successfully resisted a Spanish attack on the colony in 1609. Yanga eventually reached an agreement with the colonial government which allowed self-rule of the settlement.

Another example is The Amistad, also known as United States v. Libellants and Claimants of the Schooner Amistad, where African captives escaped their shackles and took over the ship.
