Question

Which statement about the transatlantic slave trade from Africa to the New World is correct?

Answer 1

Answer:

C. More slaves were sent to work in the sugar fields of the West Indies than anywhere else.

Explanation:

Male and female slaves were sent to the cotton plantations as women could perform much of the same tasks as men, and because they were "property", the same rules for female labor did not apply to them.

Slaves had a generally short life expectancy anywhere they were.

British merchants actively participated in the Slave Trade until they gave up the trade altogether via the anti-slave movement.
