Question 7 • New Mexico History

What challenge did residents of Blackdom face while trying to build their community?

Answer
A
frequent attacks by soldiers stationed nearby
B
laws banning African Americans from owning businesses
C
harsh living conditions and difficulty accessing water
D
pressure to move back to Southern states

Explanation

Blackdom was a Black settlement in New Mexico, where residents worked to build homes and farms in a difficult, arid environment. Water was scarce and hard to access, making it difficult to sustain their community. The challenge was harsh living conditions and difficulty accessing water, not a law banning Black-owned businesses or pressure to return South.
