The correct answer is B) 75%

Approximately 75% of the slave population lived on plantations in the South by the mid-19th century.

The US southern states depended so much on agriculture. And for agriculture to be a great business, they needed slavery. Most of the slaves in America were working in the southern plantations by the mid.19th century. Slaves were not considered humans, they were considered property. Southerners enforced slavery of black people by violence and punishment.

Papessa [141]

Hello!

The correct answer is A. Racial segregation is constitutional if the facilities are the same for everyone.

Plessy vs. Ferguson ruled the "separate but equal" doctrine, which determined that racial segregation in schools was constitutional as long as the schools were the same for all races. This was later ruled as unconstitutional by the Brown vs. Board of Education court case.

How did the demand for salvor labor changes as the value of tobacco increase?

notka56 [123]

As the value of tobacco increased, the change in the demand for slave labor that was seen was that the demand increased.

<h3>Why did the demand for slave labor increase?</h3><h3 />

As the price of cash crops like cotton and tobacco increased, there was more need for laborers in the field to work at a cheap rate. As a result, the demand for slave labor rose dramatically which led to a significant portion of the population in the South being enslaved people.

Tobacco was such a profitable product but it needed a large number of labor to be able to properly profit. As the demand from England and other European countries grew, more enslaved people were captured and brought to the Americas where they worked in plantations all over from the British colonies to the Caribbean.

In conclusion, the increase in demand for tobacco led to an increase in enslaved labor.
