Before the Black Death hit Europe, almost all things, especially elements of daily life, were under the influence of the church. In medieval times, even boiling an egg took “the time to say a prayer”. But the most important thing was that the church had always told people right from wrong. Since the afterlife was judged more important than the actual lifetime, it was considered essential to be given the last rites and to confess sins before dieing to be sure of salvation.
When the plague arrived, people believed it to be a punishment of God. Therefore, they often turned to the Church for help.

The correct answer is C. Africans had a stronger immunity to European diseases than indigenous Americans.
Explanation:
The process colonization of territories in the American continent began at the end of the 15th century and was led by settlers from different European including England, Spain, and Portuguese. Additionally, most settlers did not only conquer new territories but aimed at taking advantages of the sources in them which required a lot of workforces, for example, plantations require multiple and resistant workers. Because of this, few years after colonization took place slavery of Africans became common in the colonized territories, the preference for Africans rather than the native population can be explained as indigenous Americans had not been exposed to smallpox and because of this and other causes, their population began to decrease. Therefore, the statement that explains an important reason behind Europeans' decision to rely on Africans rather than indigenous Americans is " Africans had a stronger immunity to European diseases than indigenous Americans".

Men in the north tended to be businessmen, scientists, etc (i.e. professionals as opposed to plantation owners/farmers like in the south). The south had a higher rate of illiteracy than the north, and was deeply influenced by an economy that depended on slavery and agriculture to thrive.
