Why do you think there was a record of the number of enslaved people who had escaped to seek freedom?

What inferences can you make about why there were more men who sought freedom through escape than women?

What might be some reasons why more enslaved Africans escaped from Queens County than from Suffolk or Kings County?

Step-by-step explanation:

1. So they could keep track of how many people have escaped and if that number was increasing or decreasing.

2. Because men was more favored than woman when it came to physical work.

3. Because queens had more slaves then suffolk and kings.
