Question

PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!!!

Answer 1

Answer: B. The captives’ deaths were covered by insurance.

This event is known as the Zong Massacre. It describes the mass killing of 133 African slaves by the crew of British slave ship Zong in 1781.

The ship was allegedly running low on potable water due to a navigational mistake. When the water became a problem, the crew decided to throw slaves overboard into the sea. This was also motivated by the fact that the slaves were insured as cargo.

This horrific event stimulated the abolitionist movement and served as an example of the horrors of the slave trade.
