Question

Which of the following was an effect of the increase in slavery in the Americas during the late 1600s and early 1700s? A. African kingdoms began to resist European slave traders. B. Slavery became an integral part of American cultural life. C. Enslaved Africans could demand wages for their work. D. Many colonists who opposed slavery left the Americas and returned to Europe.

Answer 1

Slavery, as a theory, had been a commonly accepted European practice long before the exploration of the New World. Drawing on ancient Greek and Roman history, pro-slavery defenders noted that enslaving prisoners of war was an acceptable alternative to execution—once an enemy had surrendered, it was believed to be the victor’s right to claim the life of their enemy through death or enslavement. Hence, when the Portuguese slave traders started exploring the coast of Africa where it was customary for warring indigenous tribes to enslave each other, they began to buy these slaves for export to the New World colonies. Other pro-slavery advocates argued that it was their mission to convert African non-Christians (whom they referred to as “heathens”) to Christianity and that slavery allowed them to do this more effectively.

Answer 2

B. Slavery became an integral part of American cultural life.

Step-by-step explanation:

WIth time Slavery became an integral part of American Cultural life, integrating the white supremacy and empowering the owners of slaves, in that time every colony had slaves, some more than others, the demand for slaves was greater in the southern colonies that needed a lot of workers for the Cotton, Rice and Tobacco plantations, but in the northern colonies there were also slaves, it became normal and common, and that affected the cultural life in America.
