Answer:
c) It caused a decrease in the output of the cash crops in the New World.
Step-by-step explanation:
The slave trade brought a increase in the output of cash crops in the New World, hence why they were called cash crops. Larger amounts of people in the workforce who require only food, shelter, and clothes on their back, without pay, is cheaper then hiring white workers in the area. This allowed for bare minimum payment to the slaves with large cash deposits entering in. With the end of the slave trade after the American Civil War, the cash-crops had already found other methods to be planted and harvested. These include, but is not limited too, new plowing methods, the cotton gin, etc. The removal of the slave trade made a dent in the pockets individually based on the amount of resources sunk into them, but did not affect in the way that the South believed it will.
