Answer:

A. the seasoning of enslaved Africans

Explanation:

The term 'Seasoning' Refers to a disease outbreak that enslaved Africans gt after they're being put in a different environment.

Generally, African slaves were kept in a terrible condition, with very little hygiene, high humidity, and not enough sunlight.  This caused many African slaves in Jamaica obtain various type of Tropical diseases, specifically Malaria  (which is caused by mosquitoes bite).

The slave owners did not see any merit in treating the slaves, so most of the ones that infected were just left there without any medication. This explains the really high mortality rate.

Do you think southern stated seceded to protect slavery or states rights?
SOVA2 [1]
The south seceded for both reasons. Prior to the Civil War, the South lived in the antebellum period which was a period of great economic success built around their agriculture and cotton plantations which was largely accredited to their slaves who provided free labor. The south believed that states rights protected their way of life and successful economy and they also believed the northern states were infringing on these rights and would take away the source that built such a great and successful economy. Because the slaves built their empire and they believed states rights protected this, they succeeded to keep their way of life.
