One interpretation of what was the great enclosure says that it was a place to accommodate a surplus population because of the similarities with the Hill Ruins. Another one suggests that the great enclosure worked as a site for religious events and rituals.

Symbols like the monolithic soapstone bird with pronounced muscularity on its breasts and well defined talon infers it is a bird of prey, which might be related to the power of the Shona kings and they were seen as benefactors of their people as many scholars suggest

Basically, all scholars that studied the ruins concluded that the enclosures were also meant to symbolize power and prestige.

If we gather all of this information, we might say that the rulers were seen as powerful benefactors who had some religious base to legitimize them.

mrs_skeptik [129]

The correct answer is B) Between 1750 and 1755, the number of Africans living in slavery in Georgia increased.

The fact that provides the best evidence to support the conclusion that the end of the trustee period also marked the end of colonies' attempts to ban slavery from approximately 500 to 18,000.

In 1730, James Oglethorpe created the trustees to found the Georgia colony, the last of the 13 colonies in America. Families received land to farm, creating new opportunities for poor English people that decided to travel to Georgia. Rich people that bought more land hired indentured servants. Trustees banned slavery but this came to an end when trustees ended, increasing the number of slaves from approximately 500 to 18,000.

The other options of the question were A) BY 1800, as many as 20 million slaves captured along the western coast of Africa had been shipped to the Americas. C) the majority of slaves that were shipped to the Georgia colony were from Senegal, Ghan, and Sierra Leone. D) to meet the need for cheap labor, many Georgia landowners used indentured servants that agreed to work for anyone willing to pat their way to the colony.
