The correct answer is C. In the Stono Rebellion, slaves utilized their large numbers to organize an escape attempt.

Explanation:

The Stono Rebellion was one of the earliest known slave rebellions in the United States. On September 9, 1739, a group of South Carolina slaves gathered at the Stono River (whence the name of the uprising comes) to plan an armed demonstration for their own freedom.

On September 9, 1739, twenty African-American Carolinians, led by the Angolan slave Jemmy, met on the Stono River, a few miles southwest of Charleston, South Carolina. They traveled along the road with a sign with the text "Liberty", and they sang unison the same word. They seized weapons and ammunition at a store on Stono Bridge, where they also killed two shop assistants. They raised a flag and continued south toward Spanish Florida, a well-known refugee area for escaped slaves. They gathered more recruits along the way and ended up with 80 men. They burned seven plantations and killed 20 white people. South Carolina's Deputy Governor, William Bull, and four of his friends rode into the group by mistake. Bull fled and warned other slave owners. They harbored a mob of plantation and slave owners and set out to look for Jemmy and his successors.  

The next day armed militia captured the escaped slaves. Twenty white Carolinians and forty-four of the slaves died during the fighting, before the uprising was finally defeated. The captured slaves were then decapitated, and their heads nailed on poles along the road between the battlefield and Charles Town.

take five to 10 minutes to warm up and cool down properly.

plan to start slowly and boost your activity level gradually unless you are already exercising frequently and vigorously.

be aware that training too hard or too often can cause overuse injuries like stress fractures, stiff or sore joints and muscles, and inflamed tendons and ligaments. sports prompting repetitive wear and tear on certain parts of your body — such as swimming (shoulders), jogging (knees, ankles, and feet), tennis (elbows) — are often overuse culprits, too. a mix of different kinds of activities and sufficient rest is safer.

listen to your body. hold off on exercise when you're sick or feeling very fatigued. cut back if you cannot finish an exercise session, feel faint after exercise or fatigued during the day, or suffer persistent aches and pains in joints after exercising.

if you stop exercising for a while, drop back to a lower level of exercise initially. if you're doing strength training, for example, lift lighter weights or do fewer reps or sets.

for most people, simply drinking plenty of water is sufficient. but if you're working out especially hard or doing a marathon or triathlon, choose drinks that replace fluids plus essential electrolytes.

choose clothes and shoes designed for your type of exercise. replace shoes every six months as cushioning wears out.

for strength training, good form is essential. initially use no weight, or very light weights, when learning the exercises. never sacrifice good form by hurrying to finish reps or sets, or struggling to lift heavier weights.

exercising vigorously in hot, humid conditions can lead to serious overheating and dehydration. slow your pace when the temperature rises above 70°f. on days when the thermometer is expected to reach 80°f, exercise during cooler morning or evening hours or at an air-conditioned gym. watch for signs of overheating, such as headache, dizziness, nausea, faintness, cramps, or palpitations.

dress properly for cold-weather workouts to avoid hypothermia. depending on the temperature, wear layers you can peel off as you warm up. don't forget gloves.
