HELP ASAP I NEEEEED HELPPPP I WIL MARK BRAIN LEST Use this passage to answer the following question: Incidents in the Life of a

Slave Girl Excerpt from Chapter II. The New Master And Mistress Harriet Jacobs On one of these sale days, I saw a mother lead seven children to the auction-block. She knew that some of them would be taken from her; but they took all. The children were sold to a slave-trader, and their mother was brought by a man in her own town. Before night her children were all far away. She begged the trader to tell her where he intended to take them; this he refused to do. How could he, when he knew he would sell them, one by one, wherever he could command the highest price? I met that mother in the street, and her wild, haggard face lives to-day in my mind. She wrung her hands in anguish, and exclaimed, "Gone! All gone! Why don't God kill me?" I had no words wherewith to comfort her. Instances of this kind are of daily, yea, of hourly occurrence. What was one main effect of slave sale days? Many found new and happy families to belong to. Traders quickly left town before townspeople could catch them. Families were divided and eventually spread across the country. People gathered and renewed family bonds during sale days.

Hey there!

The answer to the question of, "What was one main effect of slave sale days?" would be "families were divided and eventually spread across the country." 

The excerpt talks about how a mother is horrifically separated from her seven children on a sale day. She's absolutely devastated over the loss, and even asks why God won't just kill her, and the narrator states that "instances of this kind are of daily, yea, of hourly occurrences." The excerpt also states that when the mother asked the trader where her children were going to go he wouldn't tell her, but she knew they would go wherever the highest bidder was. All of this evidence shows that: 
It is not true that "many found new and happy families"; 
It is also not true that the traders left quickly to avoid being caught, as they were actually just leaving to sell the slaves wherever they could get the most money; 
It is not true that "people gathered and renewed family bonds" as the families were actually being torn apart on these days. 
And that it <em>is </em>true that families were divided and eventually spread across the country. 

Hope this helps, let me know if there's more I can do.
