Question

What Slaves Are Taught To Think Of The North

Answer 1

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

What Slaves Are Taught To Think Of the North is an autobiographical account of Harriet Ann Jacobs, which is taken from her book titled "Incidents In the Life of a Slave Girl."

The excerpt talks about how slaves in the South were told lies about the Northerners and the life of free slaves there. Jacob recalls one incident when her owner came to her one day and told her that her slave friend, who escaped to New York, is living a hard life so much that she goes without food for days. Her owner told her a lie that her slave friend besought him to take her back to her master.

The quote that supports this summary statement of Part A question is option A. Slaveowners purposefully told lies to their slaves to keep them enslaved and the quote in option A supports this claim that the slaves accepted to live in slavery than living in hard freedom.

So, the correct answer is option A.
