Which of these describes the purpose of the "Headright System" used in many areas during the colonial era?
Alex_Xolod [135]

Option B is right that the to encourage people to settle in the colonies was the purpose of the Headright system.

Began in 1618 at Jamestown in Virginia, the Headright system was a method of granting the land legally. This system was created to attract immigrants and it was an attempt to solve scarcity of labor in Virginia, caused by the appearance of the tobacco economy. The Headrights were awarded to anyone who would agree to pay the shipping costs of the labor or slave. accordingly, colonists who were living in Virginia were given with two Headrights, and the migrated Colonists were awarded one Headright and the individuals received one Headright every time they paid for the journey of another individual. Plantation owners benefited from the Headright system when they met for the transportation of imported slaves. The increasing money amount required to bring bound slaves to the colonies and this contributed to the shift towards slavery in the colonies.

Which does not describe Benjamin Banneker? A. surveyor of the nation's capital B. first black man to vote in the United States C
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

B. first black man to vote in the United States

Explanation:

Benjamin Banneker was known as one of the early successful African Americans in the United States due to his exposure, level of education, occupation, and most importantly his non slavery background.

It is true that he was a surveyor of the nation's capital, having worked under Major Andrew Ellicott in a survey that ascertained the actual borders of the DC, the federal capital of the United States.

It is also true that he knows mathematics, astronomy, and authors some books in his lifetime.

It is also true that he was a son of a freed slave. His mom was a free African-American woman while his dad was, a former slave.

What is not true, however, is that he was the first black man to vote in the United States as that honor goes to Thomas Mundy Peterson.
