1. What was described as the 'hardest work" slaves did? (1 point)
To find the answer to this question, we need to assess the options provided and determine which one aligns with historical knowledge about the work done by slaves.
A. Working in the rice fields: Slaves commonly worked in rice fields, but there is no evidence to suggest that it was the "hardest" work they did.
B. Working in the tobacco fields: Slaves were involved in tobacco farming, but again, there is no specific indication that it was the most difficult work.
C. Working in the lumber business: While slaves may have been involved in the lumber business, there is no evidence to suggest that this was the hardest work they did.
D. Working loading and unloading ships in port: This option aligns with historical knowledge, as the work of loading and unloading ships was physically demanding and often considered one of the toughest tasks assigned to slaves.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. Work loading and unloading ships in port.
2. Which of the following best describes the social class of small farmers? (1 point)
To answer this question, we need to analyze the provided options and identify the one that represents the social class of small farmers accurately.
A. Elite of society, whose wealth had lasted for several generations: This option does not align with the social class of small farmers, as it suggests a higher social status.
B. Largest portion of society, who owned a small amount of land: This option correctly describes the social class of small farmers, as they typically owned a small amount of land and constituted a significant portion of society.
C. Bottom of society, who were denied all freedoms: This option portrays small farmers in an unnecessarily negative light, as they did have some level of freedom and ownership.
D. Unsure of role in society and not allowed to vote: This option does not accurately represent the social class of small farmers, as they did have a recognized role in society and were usually allowed to vote.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. Largest portion of society, who owned a small amount of land.
(Note: For the remaining questions, I won't explain how to find the answer for each one, as it would be repetitive. Instead, I will provide the correct answer directly.)
