Read the passage and answer the question that follows: many slaves preferred not to escape their horrible lives on plantations because their families were often with them. despite the fact that slaves had no rights, they often found ways to sabotage the plantations on which they lived. slaves would pretend to be ill so they would not have to work. they would also create trouble by breaking tools such as plows, which were needed for work. mothers would work fewer hours to care for their children, so women gave birth to many children. the br'er rabbit stories illustrate this tricky ingenuity. choose the sentence that corrects a historical inaccuracy in the passage. many slaves ran away rather than endure the difficult conditions on the plantations. men, women, and children alike had to work long days on the plantations. slaves had limited rights under the law, which allowed them to recuperate when ill. the br'er rabbit stories illustrate good behavior, teaching slaves how to work well.

The correct answer is C. Men, women, and children alike had to work long days on the plantations.

Explanation:

In writing, historical inaccuracies occur when the information included describes a fact or event from the past but this is not correct or exact, which means events from the past are not being reported as they occurred. In the case of the excerpt presented that describes the conditions of slaves and the way they avoided to work there is historical inaccuracy in "Mothers would work fewer hours to care for their children, so women gave birth to many children" because even though women gave birth to many children they did not have to work less because of this. Indeed in plantations slaves including women, men and children work for more than 10 hours and in some cases even 16 hours a day. Considering this, the sentence that would correct the historical inaccuracy previously mentioned is "Men, women, and children alike had to work long days on the plantations".

- "made the south's economy grow rapidly and a small effect that a lot of people don't know is that it made the more demand of slaves and cotton products. and also new states formed due to plantations growing in size."

after the civil war, and with the termination of slavery, the south was faced with a big problem; what was supposed to happen and how they were supposed to deal with the freedom and the rights that black people and freed slaves had gained as a result of the north defeating the south and forcing the end of slavery. first, most, if not all, of the workforce of the south came from slaves and they did not have an option to replace the loss of said workforce. second, particularly in the south, people were convinced that black people were lesser, less intelligent, less capable and less smart than whites. this posed a huge problem for them. also, southerners were faced with another issue; freed slaves now had a say in how their lives would be lived and the right to politically choose the way they would be governed. people in the south did not want to accept this, none of this and this opposition and the conflicts that arose from it, not to mention the afereffects of the war, forced the congress of the time to enact and enforce the reconstruction plans that had been proposed by president andrew johnson.
