Question

What deterred many slaves from attempting to escape?

Their family members were often on the same plantation.
Their masters were required to reward them for good behavior.

They were continually monitored by guards on the plantation.

Answer 1

I think its D, but not sure.

Answer 2

So its C? i dont get that...

Answer 3

"Even though there were many dangers and torments associated with running away, such as execution or having their family punished on their behalf, thousands of slaves did so regardless. For them, freedom was more important than anything else in life."

This dissuades against A.

B is asinine.

I would say it's between the bottom two.

Answer 4

Yeah, I though B was kind of stupid too. Thanks!😅

Answer 5

Leaning towards D honestly. C just doesn't make sense if they hold freedom to be important to them.

Answer 6

Even more so than life.

Various articles talk about guards and them being the major deterrent against "Chickenes" running.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9

I think its D because of the fact so many slaves would try to run away and some would be killed for there actions so then they would just stay on the plantation
