What do tobacco, cotton, and rice have in common?
Tobacco, cotton and rice are all cash crops. That is what makes them common. They are cash crops because the transporters had no difficulty in transporting them due to many waterways.

<em>D. The slave trade was banned in Washington, D.C.</em>
Explanation:
After the Mexican-American War ended, the United States had a lot more territory to deal with. Slavery was always a huge debate during this time, but now that there were more territories, people started to get nervous about how the new territories would be split up into free and slave states.
The Compromise of 1850 were laws and compromises that set the field for the slavery situation in the new territories. These laws tried to be as fair and unbiased as possible, since slavery was controversial during this time.
With these laws, California was now a free state, the slave trade was now prohibited in Washington, D.C, and Texas lost New Mexico, but got money from the government in the process.
In August 1619 more people arrived on the Dutch Man-of-War ship at Jamestown colony. This is the earliest record of Black people in colonial America. These colonists were freemen and indentured servants. At this time the slave trade between Africa and the English colonies had not yet been established.
Records from 1623 and 1624 listed the African inhabitants of the colony as servants, not slaves. In the case of William Tucker, the first Black person born in the colonies, freedom was his bright right. He was son of "Antony and Isabell", a married couple from Angola who worked as indentured servants for Captain William Tucker whom he was named after. Yet, court records show that at least one African had been declared a slave by 1640; John Punch. He was an indentured servant who ran away along with two White indentured servants and he was sentenced by the governing council to lifelong servitude. This action is what officially marked the institution of slavery in Jamestown and the future United States.
