eighteenth century developments in the british colonies and hear your

00:27

schedule answers emergency racial social auntie All right well the

00:34

excerpt is about slavery right So what this question is

really asking is which of these answer choices was directly

00:42

caused by the slave trade If we want to be

00:45

more specific about it which we always do the questions
