d) they maintained cultural practices brought from Africa

e) they were the primary labor source in Pennsylvania until 1720Quick AP US question that I cant figure out.?
It's "D".





I've TAUGHT AP U.S. History for twenty years.
It's D.Quick AP US question that I cant figure out.?

i'd have to say c but im not in ap us im in just the regular class right now
It's D.
well, b is wrong b/c savsobviously died more often in the West Indian and S. Carolinan plantations than in Chesapeake. c is wrong b/c slaves rarely made up the majority of any states. i don't know FOR SURE about the rest, but MY answer would be d b/c the slaves really did maintain old african rituals and things, so...
