Question

Which of the following concepts from the Noel hypothesis describes why Africans were enslaved rather than other groups? A) competition hypothesis B) differential in power C)desirability of indentured servants D) religious servitude

Answer 1

The correct option here is B) differential in power.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the Noel hypothesis Africans were chosen above other groups such as native Americans and other white groups because of differential in power . The whites had a more dominant position than the Africans, who were brought in to the country as cheap labor. According to this hypothesis if a couple of groups come together who were characterized by the features such as ethnocentrism, competition and differential in power , then this will lead to a racial stratification.
