There are not much resistance shown by the slaves but only by one who is Northup. Others were not seen using resistance on the epps plantation. Explanation:
- The film :twelve years a slave: is a movie which was based upon the life and the hardships of the slaves of that time.
- Even though the 1854 memoir on which the film is based shows many resistances by the slaves but no resistance and fighting back of the slaves is shown in the movie.
- The only fighting back of Northup is shown in the movie where he fights against the person to whom he has been mortgaged.
