Question

by the 1700s, what about slavery had changed?○ enslaved people could be emancipated.○ all enslaved people were of african descent.○ enslaved people were considered employees.○ all enslaved people were separated from family.

Explanation:

By the 1700s, racialized chattel slavery became the dominant system, where enslavement was tied exclusively to African descent, replacing earlier forms of slavery that included people of other backgrounds. The other options are incorrect: emancipation was extremely limited, enslaved people were property not employees, and while family separation occurred, it was not universal to all enslaved people.

Answer:

B. All enslaved people were of African descent.
