Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chesapeake planters bought slaves of different ethnic backgrounds to limit their ability to organize and communicate effectively with one another, thus preventing slave revolts. This was known as the "divide and conquer" strategy. The other options are incorrect because providing incentives or education to slaves was not a common practice, and allowing slaves to buy their freedom was rare and heavily regulated.
