Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

By the 1740s, many Chesapeake slaves were American-born, meaning they were born into slavery in the colonies rather than being imported from Africa. As a result, more slaves were able to establish families and create personal lives, contributing to a growing sense of community and resistance against restrictive slave laws. All three choices — A) American-born slaves, B) established families, and C) personal lives — are correct.
