please help me Probably the main reason Africans, rather than Native Americans, became slaves in America was that A. Africans were already adapted to slavery. B. Indians passed North American diseases to the Europeans. C. Africans and Europeans shared immunities to Old World diseases. D. Indians were unable to master the work required of slaves.

What do you think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its c i know b isn't it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c or a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well it certainly can't be c. because many africans died from disease. That's why they weren't expected to live long. And why slave trade was very profitable. So that leaves us with a. and d.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would not say d. beacause native americans could do the work. In fact they did use native americans at times. The fact of the matter is that the africans could do it better.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks I'm going to do D then. ( I'm really bad at history)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So that leaves us with a. the africans were adapted to slavery. They were better suited for slavery. They could work harder and longer. So I would say the answer is a.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well if you think it's d. go with d.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you for the medal!

OpenStudy (anonymous):
