I'd argue that people do have a natural violent reaction to being oppressed in many circumstances.
Speaking about slavery, I don't think there's ever been an instance of one group of people who took another group as slaves without the monopoly of violence on their side.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
