Which text in this excerpt from William Dean Howells's "Editha" exposes the author’s opposition to conventional ideas of patriot

ism? "No, you didn't expect him to get killed," Mrs. Gearson repeated in a voice which was startlingly like George's again. "You just expected him to kill someone else, some of those foreigners, that weren't there because they had any say about it, but because they had to be there, poor wretches—conscripts, or whatever they call 'em. You thought it would be all right for my George, your George, to kill the sons of those miserable mothers and the husbands of those girls that you would never see the faces of." The woman lifted her powerful voice in a psalm-like note. "I thank my God he didn't live to do it! I thank my God they killed him first, and that he ain't livin' with their blood on his hands!" She dropped her eyes which she had raised with her voice, and glared at Editha. "What you got that black on for?" She lifted herself by her powerful arms so high that her helpless body seemed to hang limp its full length. "Take it off, take it off, before I tear it from your back!"

Why did African traders begin seeking more people to enslave? A. They had more work to get done B. Europeans wanted to but more
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

B. Europeans wanted to buy more slaves

Explanation:

Europeans began to practice the lucrative slave trade, which took place for four centuries between the African continent and the American continent. The slave trade brought about changes in African society, because the increase or decrease of internal slavery (in Africa) was related to the greater or lesser external demand (for America). Therefore, the greater the need for slaves in America, the greater the number of enslaved people in Africa. Thus, slave trade became a profitable business. For this reason, African traders began to search for more people to enslave.
