Question

The area of the British Empire with the greatest number of slaves in 1675 was the a.middle colonies. b.Caribbean colonies. c.New England colonies. d.southern colonies.

Answer 1

B. Caribbean colonies

Step-by-step explanation:

At this point in time, the most valuable colonies in European empires, including the British, were the Caribbean ones due to the hot and humid tropical climate capable of growing sugar. These were gold mines for the British, and thus, many slaves ended up in the West Indies, hence why to this day the Caribbean has a high black population.
