Answer:

Robertson Mumford purchased his slave for four gallons of rum and a piece of calico cloth.

Explanation:

Venture Smith was held captive at the age of six and a half in <em>West Africa</em> in 1739. He was then taken to <em>Ghana</em> and was bought by Robertson Mumford, who paid <em>four gallons of rum and some calico cloth</em> for him.  His birth name was Broteer Furro (1729-1805). He spent his life in Rhode Island, Connecticut, Mumford's home, where he finally bought his <em>freedom</em>. His autobiography, "A Narrative of the Life and Adventures of Venture, a Native of Africa: But Resident above Sixty Years in the United States of America, Related by Himself" depicts the African American voice of the <em>slave</em>.

Burials as Historical Texts, what questions might historians ask of these burials that cannot be answered?
lorasvet [3.4K]
Although science has come a long way in this regard, burials still often cannot reveal when the deceased person died, or even when exactly he or she lived. It also cannot tell much about the person's true beliefs, although it may give clues as to the profession or religion of the deceased. 

What the burial can or cannot tell depends significantly on the age, complexity, and preservation of the burial itself, but generally there is a great deal that a burial cannot tell historians.
