Answer:
A: To bring attention to the demeaning and dangerous conditions that enslaved people faced.
C: To counter the idyllic depictions of slavery that often came from slaveholders
Explanation:
The slave narrative is a type of literary genre which involves autobiographical accounts of enslaved Africans in Great Britain and its colonies, including the later United States, Canada, and Caribbean nations.
The main purpose writing slave narratives was to let others know of the poor conditions of the enslaved people. When abolishing slavery was being talked about by politicians, intellectuals and abolitionists, the slaveholders started writing positively about slavery. So the purpose of writing slave narratives was also to counter these idyllic depictions of slavery.
Option B is not true because slave narratives were opposing such protection of slavery embedded in founding documents.
Option D is not correct because slave narratives and abolitionist movement had nothing to do with the economies colonies.
