The first African-Americans brought into English America do not do so as slaves, but as registered laborers, but in 1650 it is almost impossible for them to obtain freedom: Europeans need cheap and submissive people in the colonies, which causes settlers to be inclined to slavery. In Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia slavery is legalized first. North, New England does not need to have slaves for its traditional and puritan way of life, Nor the intermediate zone formed by New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, with population of English, German and Dutch merchants and farmers, less racist and more tolerant. But in the South it was different, in the Virginias, the Carolinas, Maryland, Georgia, plantations and landowners needed massive numbers of people, leading to a system of slave control, and an accepted racist ideolog

Answer:

The correct answer is A. The Southern Colonies were especially active in shipping enslaved Africans to America.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slavery existed in the United States since the creation of the British Colonies in North America in the 1600s until 1865, when the Civil War ended and the 13th Amendment was passed by Congress.

Labor of slaves was widely used in the plantation economy of the South. In the first half of the 19th century, the national wealth of the United States was largely based on the exploitation of slave labor. Over the period from the 16th century to the 19th century, about 12 million Africans were imported into the countries of the Americas, of which about 645 thousand were imported into the territory of the modern USA.

As of 1860, out of the 12 million population of 15 US states where slavery persisted, 4 million were slaves. Of the 1.5 million families living in these states, more than 390 thousand families had slaves.
