Answer: It proves that African Americans did not want to be enslaved and that they tried to end it.
Explanation:
The South had maintained that African Americans actually liked slavery and would be unable to survive without it. They actively promoted this view but these slave revolts show that this wasn't the case. Why would people revolt against something that they don't mind.
It shows that not only were African Americans against being enslaved, but that they actively sought to end it by any means necessary. It is therefore important to learn about these revolts as it shows how slavery was resisted by people even when thy faced dire consequences for doing so.
