Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl
Excerpt from Chapter II. The New Master And Mistress
Harriet Jacobs
On one of these sale days, I saw a mother lead seven children to the auction-block. She knew that some of them would be taken from her; but they took all. The children were sold to a slave-trader, and their mother was brought by a man in her own town. Before night her children were all far away. She begged the trader to tell her where he intended to take them; this he refused to do. How could he, when he knew he would sell them, one by one, wherever he could command the highest price? I met that mother in the street, and her wild, haggard face lives to-day in my mind. She wrung her hands in anguish, and exclaimed, "Gone! All gone! Why don't God kill me?" I had no words wherewith to comfort her. Instances of this kind are of daily, yea, of hourly occurrence.
Based on the passage, which part of slave life most likely made its way into songs and stories of the slave communities?

Question 14(Multiple Choice Worth 6 points)
(07.03 HC)
Read the passage and answer the question that follows:
Many slaves preferred not to escape their horrible lives on plantations because their families were often with them. Despite the fact that slaves had no rights, they often found ways to sabotage the plantations on which they lived. Slaves would pretend to be ill so they would not have to work. They would also create trouble by breaking tools such as s and plows, which were needed for work. Mothers would work fewer hours to care for their children, so women gave birth to many children. The Br'er Rabbit stories illustrate this tricky ingenuity.
Choose the sentence that corrects a historical inaccuracy in the passage.
Many slaves ran away rather than endure the difficult conditions on the plantations.
Men, women, and children alike had to work long days on the plantations.
Slaves had limited rights under the law, which allowed them to recuperate when ill.
The Br'er Rabbit stories illustrate good behavior, teaching slaves how to work well.

Use this passage to answer the following question:
The Cotton Gin
Andrea Brecheen
The cotton gin was one of the most amazing and tragic inventions of early America. The cotton gin is credited to the brilliant and creative American inventor Eli Whitney. Because Whitney's invention made cotton harvesting easier, it allowed farmers in the South to increase production. The cotton gin simplified the process of removing the cotton from the seeds, a process formerly done by hand.
As a result, Southern plantations increased their production of cotton from 750,000 bales in 1830 to 2.85 million bales just 20 years later. Because of the increase in production, the farmers in South became even more dependent on cotton for revenue. This new reliance on cotton increased the need for slavery. More slaves were needed to farm the ever expanding cotton plantations. If Whitney had known the effects his invention would have on slavery, he never would have created it.

Hmm, I'm sorry but I can't seem to find the answer to question 7. However, I can help you understand how to approach finding the answer.
To determine Henry David Thoreau's idea of civil disobedience, it's important to consider his beliefs and writings. Thoreau was a transcendentalist philosopher who advocated for individualism, self-reliance, and nonviolent resistance against unjust laws.
Looking at the answer choices:
A. Taxation without representation is unfair and must be resisted.
B. The government must serve the people, not the other way around.
C. If a law goes against morality then citizens should protest it peacefully.
D. Unjust laws must be opposed by any means necessary, including violence.
Thoreau's idea of civil disobedience aligns most closely with option C: "If a law goes against morality then citizens should protest it peacefully." Thoreau believed that individuals had a moral duty to disobey unjust laws and peacefully protest against them. He famously put this idea into practice with his essay "Civil Disobedience," in which he argued against the institution of slavery and the Mexican-American War.
Now, let's move on to question 8. The question asks how the Second Great Awakening was important to slaves' religious beliefs. To find the answer, it's necessary to understand the impact of the Second Great Awakening on the institution of slavery and the experiences of enslaved individuals.
Looking at the answer choices:
A. It created more tolerance among slave owners which gave slaves their first chance to choose a religion.
B. It made it illegal to punish slaves for going to religious services, so slaves could learn about the Bible without fear.
C. It allowed many slaves to convert to Christianity because owners felt converting would make slaves more obedient.
D. As owners became more understanding during this movement, enslaved parents were allowed to teach their children about religion.
The Second Great Awakening was a religious revival movement in the early 19th century that emphasized personal piety, emotional conversion experiences, and social reform. While it did bring some positive changes to the lives of enslaved individuals, such as increased access to religious services, the answer choice that best aligns with the historical context is option C: "It allowed many slaves to convert to Christianity because owners felt converting would make slaves more obedient." During the Second Great Awakening, many white slave owners saw conversion to Christianity as a means of controlling and shaping the behavior of enslaved individuals. This led to an increase in the number of enslaved individuals who converted to Christianity, although their understanding and interpretation of the religion often differed from that of their white oppressors.
