Read the passages and answer the question. Indentured servant Part of Speech: n Definition: a person who is bonded or contracted to work for another for a specified time, in exchange for learning a trade or for travel expenses (as to America) Dictionary.com's 21st Century Lexicon Copyright © 2003-2012 Dictionary.com, LLC And all things considered, it would conduce more to the Welfare of the Province, to have White Servants for a Term of Years, than to have Slaves for Life. Which sentence does NOT support the idea voiced in the excerpt from "The Selling of Joseph"? Most Negros are not happy as slaves, but there is no term of service, and white people do not want Negros to become free. Negros look different from other races and cannot easily fit into white society or join white families, so they remain outsiders. Negros are often taught about Holiness to the Lord and serve their masters well in spite of not enjoying personal freedoms. Many Negros are cruelly taken away from their countries and their families only to face continued cruelty aboard ships and in a strange land.

Answer:

  • Negros are often taught about Holiness to the Lord and serve their masters well in spite of not enjoying personal freedoms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Samuel Sewall's The Selling of Joseph, the first anti-slavery tract published in New England. In the pamphlet Sewall condemns African slavery and the slave trade in North America, and disproves a significant number of the period's normal supports for subjection. Sewall refers to part and stanza from the Bible to censure "Man Stealing" as an appalling wrongdoing, yet additionally utilizes useful (and racist) contentions about the competition of slaves with free whites to brace his case.
