What angers the townspeople the most when the king is selling the Wilks’ slaves is that:

He separates parents and children in the sale.

 

Separating the parents and children in the sale is a strategy that they thought of to sell the slaves faster. However, the girls found breaking up the family insensitive – which made them upset. There were also a lot of the townspeople who disapproved at separating the families, but the men were still firm on doing it.

The proper answer is “C. He separates parents children in the sale.”


You are referencing a scene from _The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn_ where slaves that once belonged to the now-deceased Peter Wilks are being sold off by the King and Duke.  The fact that the slaves are being sold is not what gets people angry.   What angers people is that the family of slaves is broken up in order to have the sold faster separately than they would have been had they been sold together as a family.

A revolution in the textile industry
a_sh-v [17]

TEXTILE MANUFACTURING IN THE

INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

One of the main industries that benefitted from the Industrial Revolution was the textile industry. The textile industry was based on the development of cloth and clothing. Before the start of the Industrial Revolution, which began in the 1700s, the production of goods was done on a very small scale. Historians refer to this method of production as the ‘cottage industry’. Simply put, the cottage industry refers to a period of time in which goods for sale were produced on a very small scale, usually in a home. In this system, people produced goods, such as wool, in their homes or on their own farms and then sold it to local communities since long distance transportation was uncommon. This method of production was slow and inefficient and struggled to keep pace with the growing demand caused by the increased population. In contrast, industrialization allowed goods to be produced in a central location and on a mass scale. It also led to the creation of inventions that helped speed up the production method of many goods, but most noticeably in the textile industry.
