Final answer:

An enslaved person does not have no identity outside of being enslaved and accepting their servitude as a natural condition.correct option is false

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that an enslaved person has no identity outside of being enslaved and accepts their servitude as a natural condition is FALSE.

In Africa, where slavery was practiced, the condition of slavery was not inherited, and enslaved individuals retained some rights as a person and as an individual. Even if someone was enslaved, their children were often born free. Furthermore, the life of an enslaved person in Africa was not comfortable or easy, but they could participate fully in the life of their household or community and could own property or enslaved people of their own.

Thus, contrary to the statement, being enslaved did not imply an inherent difference or inferiority, and enslaved individuals had identities and rights beyond their enslavement.
