Final answer:

The statement here that background settlers were typically very wealthy compared to seaboard colonists is false. The popularization of colonizationist schemes among black abolitionists is largely false. It is true that colonists objected to tax application rather than to the principle of taxation itself.

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that background settlers were typically very wealthy in comparison to the colonists closer to the seaboard is False. Settlers in the frontier regions or background areas were often less affluent and moved to these locations seeking the opportunity to own land and better their condition.

Hence, they typically weren't as wealthy as many of the established colonists in the seaboard cities, who were often more directly involved in trade and had easier access to resources and markets.

Colonizationist scheme popularity among black abolitionists is a nuanced issue. While some supported these schemes hoping for a separate black nation, the majority of black abolitionists held that they were American and should have equal rights within the United States. Therefore, the statement is largely False, as the colonizationist schemes were not universally popular among black abolitionists.

The statement that the colonists did not necessarily object to the principle of taxation, but rather how the tax money would be applied is True. Colonists were concerned with the lack of representation in Parliament which dictated taxes without their consent, exemplified by the slogan 'no taxation without representation'.

The correct option is B.
