Question 1 • WV-US Studies

Which of these statements about enslaved people is true? Check all of the boxes that apply.

Answer
A
All enslaved people were considered property.
B
Enslaved people could not be sold away from their wives and children.
C
Enslaved people performed a wide variety of jobs.
D
All Southerners favored slavery.

Explanation

Enslaved people were legally treated as property, so they could be bought and sold. Families could be separated when enslaved people were sold, making B false. Enslaved people did many kinds of work, including field labor, domestic service, and skilled trades, so C is true. Not all Southerners supported slavery, so D is false.
