Of course, it is very difficult to quantify, since a lot of smaller forms of resistance went unrecorded - by its very nature, it was supposed to go undetected. However, there is good reason to believe it was extremely widespread: put 'slave resistance' into JSTOR and google books and you get thousands of scholarly works written on the ways in which slaves resisted in various different places and time periods.
But One Degree et al can't or won't do even this basic research (note I have twice asked One Degree to provide some sources to back his views on slavery). The reason is that, as One Degree has already acknowledged, they know that the weight of the evidence does not fit their preconceived views and so ignore it.
