Explanation

The continuation of slavery resulted in all of the answers below. Slavery created a distinct black culture as enslaved Africans brought their own traditions, languages, and customs to America. Slavery also isolated blacks from whites, as they were treated as property and denied equal rights and opportunities. The institution of slavery also isolated the South from the rest of American society, as the North and South had different economic systems and ideologies. Additionally, the influence of black and white cultures on each other can be seen through the blending of African and European traditions in music, art, and language.

2. The domestic slave trade in the period 1820-1860 

Explanation

During the period 1820-1860, the domestic slave trade often included the separation of families. This means that enslaved individuals were frequently torn apart from their loved ones and sold to different owners. This practice was common during this time as slave traders sought to maximize their profits by selling individuals separately. The separation of families caused immense emotional and psychological trauma for enslaved people, as they were forcibly separated from their spouses, children, and other relatives. This practice further dehumanized and oppressed enslaved individuals, contributing to the overall cruelty and injustice of the institution of slavery.

Explanation

Slaves developed their own African-American versions of language, music, religion, and family relations as a way to preserve their cultural identity and resist the dehumanizing effects of slavery. However, due to the oppressive nature of slavery, access to formal education and schools was severely limited for slaves. Therefore, they were unable to develop their own African-American version of a school.

4. In the 1850s, the price of a prime field hand slave was about 

Explanation

During the 1850s, the price of a prime field hand slave was approximately $1,000. This suggests that slaves were valued and considered as valuable assets during that time. The price of a slave was determined by various factors such as age, physical condition, skills, and demand in the market. Slavery was a common practice in the 19th century, particularly in the southern states of the United States, where slaves were primarily used for agricultural labor. The price of $1,000 indicates the significant investment that slave owners had to make to acquire a prime field hand slave.

The correct answer is "considerable variety in the conditions under which slaves lived." This means that the conditions for slaves varied greatly depending on factors such as location, occupation, and individual slaveholders.

Explanation

Nat Turner's rebellion was a violent slave uprising that occurred in Virginia in 1831. The rebellion resulted in a heightened fear among white slaveholders, leading to stricter slave codes and increased surveillance and control over slaves. As a result, the number of slaves being freed in the South declined significantly. The rebellion served as a catalyst for reinforcing the institution of slavery rather than leading to its abolition.

Submit

Explanation

During the time of slavery in the South, the African slave trade did not continue to grow larger each decade until the Civil War. In fact, the international slave trade was officially abolished in the United States in 1808, although illegal smuggling of slaves continued.
