Question

n the northern colonies, slaves: a. lived in segregated but prosperous communities. b. were forbidden by law to display any aspect of African culture in public. c. were far less important to New England than the Middle Colonies. d. became more important in New England after the Half-Way Covenant. e. faced far harsher treatment than they did in the South.

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Explanation:

A The slaves in the northern colonies lived in segregated communities but I doubt it very much that they were prosperous...

B In Cuba and other Hispanic colonies African culture - seen as heretic acts - was suppressed and sometimes forbidden. It was tolerated in the American colonies.

D The Half-Way Covenant was a church document on membership, it was not about slaves.

E The other way around I would say, ¨I never go back to Georgia¨  is a line of a song called Manteca and is a clear statement that the Southern States were not very popular among afro-american people.

So, C remains and is supported by the fact that the percentage of slaves was a mere 2-3%. This was due to the indentured servants in New England.
