Violent uprisings by slaves often led to harsh repercussions, including increased surveillance and punishment of slaves, stricter control by slave owners, and reinforcement of laws to maintain the institution of slavery. Additionally, violent uprisings could result in retaliatory violence by slave owners and authorities, leading to further oppression and brutality towards the enslaved population.
Slaves used various forms of non-insurrectionary resistance to resist the dehumanizing conditions of slavery, such as acts of sabotage, feigning illness, and covertly teaching other slaves to read. These tactics allowed slaves to assert some degree of agency and resist their oppressors without resorting to violent uprisings.
Slaves were not allowed to go out after dark due to fear of rebellion or escape attempts. Enslavers sought to control and restrict the movements of slaves to maintain power and prevent uprisings. Restricting their movements at night also made it easier to track and control their whereabouts.
Slave owners were worried about rebellion because they depended on the labor of enslaved people for their economic livelihood. Large-scale uprisings could threaten their power and control, as well as disrupt the social order they benefited from. They feared losing their property and facing violent retaliation if enslaved people were to revolt.
Slaves committed sabotage by breaking tools or equipment, feigning illness, working slowly, or purposefully making mistakes. They also practiced self-harm or ran away to resist their enslavement. Some slaves even organized revolts or uprisings to challenge the system.
The reaction varied, but generally, white southerners responded with fear, anger, and violence towards the slaves. There were instances of brutal retaliation, where slaves were severely punished or killed in response to rebellions. The uprisings also fueled concerns about the stability of the institution of slavery in the South.

Fugitive slaves faced punishment if caught, including beatings or being returned to their owners. Some managed to find safety in free states or Canada, while others faced harsh living conditions as they tried to evade capture. The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 increased efforts to capture and return escaped slaves, leading to heightened tensions between Northern and Southern states.

American Slaves were never given protections under the law so there was really never a "less violent" time. They were looked on as property so the level of violence depended on the attitude of the individual owners toward their slaves.
Slaves often resisted having work forced on them so the masters would get violent as a punishment.
Slave codes were created to give status of slaves and the rights of masters. Slave owners would have absolute power over theses' slaves if they have these codes.
