To answer this question, we need to look at the options provided and choose the one that best describes how some enslaved African Americans expressed their emotions.
Option 1 states that enslaved African Americans didn't believe in public emotional displays and would express themselves only to the tribal chief. However, this option seems to be inaccurate as it refers to tribal chiefs, who were more relevant to Native American cultures rather than African American slavery experiences.
Option 2 suggests that enslaved African Americans expressed their emotions through sports like archery and lacrosse. While physical activities like sports might have provided an outlet for some individuals, it is not a widely recognized or documented form of emotional expression for enslaved African Americans.
Option 3 states that enslaved African Americans used a form of dance called juba to express their feelings. This option is accurate and aligns with historical records. Juba, also known as "patting juba" or "hambone," was a dance form that involved rhythmic hand and foot movements accompanied by rhymes. It originated among enslaved African Americans as a means of cultural expression and communication.
Option 4 suggests that enslaved African Americans would only confide in their own family members, and expressing negative emotions to others was considered a character weakness. While family support was undoubtedly crucial in coping with emotional struggles, it is not the only way enslaved African Americans expressed their emotions, and the notion of negative emotions being seen as a character weakness is a narrowing and stereotypical perspective.
Based on the provided options, option 3, which states that enslaved African Americans expressed their emotions through a form of dance called juba, is the most accurate answer.
