Answer:
Escaped slaves in the 1600s would escape to remote regions like the Great Dismal Swamp. In the 1700s many slaves from the United States escaped to Spanish-led Florida, with the largest concentrations being at St. Augustine and then Pensacola.
Explanation:
In the 1600s the slavery of African Americans in the United States was only nascent. In 1619 it is believed that the first slaves were brought by British Colonists to Jamestown, although there are accounts of Spanish explorers establishing earlier communities and bringing slaves in what is now South Carolina via the port in Charleston established in 1670. There is evidence that from about the 1680s until the civil slaves escaped to areas like the Great Dismal Swamp between North Carolina and Virginia, becoming Maroons who lived as fugitives of the slavery system in their own isolated communities. Later still, slaves who escaped from their American masters would flee to places like St Augustine that was under Spanish control at the time. Spanish controlled Florida became a destination for escaped slaves because Spain welcomed slaves in order to antagonize the British. The first free all black settlement called Fort Mose was established north of St. Augustine in 1738. Pensacola was also a destination for escaped slaves from the 13 colonies up until the 1760s when the British gained control of Florida.
Answer:
D). Unconscionable
Explanation:
Unconscionable is a precept in contract law which depicts the extremely immoral, oppressive, or unjust laws as obstructive to good conscience. These laws overwhelmingly favor one party of the contract due to its superiority in bargaining abilities.
As per the question, the provision of 'landlord's authority to cut off heat or water' in a residential lease exemplifies such immoral or outrageous laws that can outrage the sensibility or conscience of the courts and courts have the complete authority to refuse the enforcement of such unjust laws. Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.
