Kadence Cross · Answer 2

The correct answer for this question is C. In the pre-Civil War years slaves were regarded as valuable property. They were sold for money to other slave-owners in the south without any regard for their humanity or right to a free life. Their health and skills were considered, but only in the context of whether this added to or took away from their value.
