Yes, D is correct.
I agree. But the answer is strange in that Spain is part of Europe. I think they mean Spanish (who founded the city) and OTHER Europeans.
thanks reed and tia
Just in case anyone was debating the credibility and legitimacy of this answer, in the Lesson 06.04 (the one the question is based on) it states:
"People from many diverse backgrounds live and trade here—Spanish, free African Americans, Seminoles, Europeans, you name it!"
Good luck friends!!!
Yes, the correct answer is D. Many different ethnicities made up the population of St. Augustine in the early 1800s, including Spanish, free African Americans, Seminole Indians, and Europeans.
To determine the correct answer, you can analyze the options and look for clues in each statement.
Option A states that most people who settled in St. Augustine were Cubans escaping from an autocratic government. While it is possible that some Cubans settled in St. Augustine during that time, the statement doesn't indicate that they made up the majority of the population.
Option B states that Seminole raiders and slaves who joined their cause comprised the majority of the population. While Seminole Indians and enslaved individuals may have been part of the population, this statement focuses on a specific group and does not mention the presence of other ethnicities.
Option C states that St. Augustine was declared "Indian Territory" and home to Seminole tribes removed from their lands. This statement suggests that the Seminole Indians were the main population, but it does not include the other ethnicities mentioned in option D.
Option D states that many different ethnicities made up the population, including Spanish, free African Americans, Seminole Indians, and Europeans. This option considers the diverse makeup of the population, which aligns with historical information about St. Augustine during that time.
Thus, the correct answer is D.
