Explanation:
Let's analyze each answer choice. Remember, we are looking for what life under slavery was like.
A. Slave owners discouraged slaves from adopting elements of white culture
- This is not true. Slaves were encouraged to assimilate and abandon their own African cultures.
B. Slave owners did not pay slaves for their work
- This is <u>true</u>. Slaves were treated horribly, forced to do strenuous tasks for many hours, and never compensated for their hard work.
Even though we just found the likely answer, let's check the last two.
C. Enslaved African Americans had equal rights to those of white people.
- This is absolutely false. Slaves were considered to be inferior and they had no rights, like voting or owning property.
D. Slaves had a great deal of freedom other than choosing where to work.
- This is also false. Slaves had no autonomy and every aspect of their life was controlled by the slave owner.
The correct answer is B. Slave owners did not pay slaves for their work
