The slaves were more concerned about how farms were bought and sold than the farmers. C. The farmers were more concerned about daily workloads than the slaves. D. The slaves were more concerned about where the crops would be sold than the farmers.

Answer 1

Option: A. The farmers were more concerned about the profits of crops than the slaves.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slaves brought in the southern states, including South Carolina as servants and labourers to help family farms (planters) prosper. Slaves forced to work in the fields of cotton and rice plantations. The legality of slavery in the South led many farmers to get involved with them to generate money. For the farmers and planter, generating wealth was the chief concern through growing crops. The slaves had no right to exercise as they forced to work from sun up to sunset.
