Question

while africans were the most numerous as far as slaves were concerned, this group also was commonly enslaved:

none of the above

runaway indentured servants

defeated native americans

whites who broke laws in the colonies

anyone caught helping slaves escape

Explanation:

In the context of colonial slavery, defeated Native Americans were also commonly enslaved. Runaway indentured servants were usually punished but not commonly re - enslaved in the same way as a distinct group for slavery. Whites who broke laws in the colonies faced other penalties, not common enslavement. Those helping slaves escape were punished too, not commonly enslaved. So the correct option is the one about defeated Native Americans.

Answer:

C. defeated Native Americans (assuming the options are labeled A - E with A as none of the above, B as runaway indentured servants, C as defeated Native Americans, D as whites who broke laws in the colonies, E as anyone caught helping slaves escape)
