Question

question 3 of 10 how did enslavement in north and south america look different than it had in africa? select a response. people and their children were enslaved for their lifetime. people were enslaved for their full adulthood. enslaved people could earn their freedom over time. enslaved people were forced to be part of the military.

Explanation:

In African enslavement, often enslaved people could gain freedom over time (e.g., through service, marriage, or other means) or enslavement was not lifelong for generations. In the Americas, chattel slavery meant people and their descendants were enslaved for life. The option "People and their children were enslaved for their lifetime" matches this difference. The other options: "People were enslaved for their full adulthood" is not a key difference (enslavement in Africa could also be long - term but not lifelong for generations), "Enslaved people could earn their freedom over time" was more common in African enslavement contexts, and "Enslaved people were forced to be part of the military" is not a defining difference between American and African enslavement.

Answer:

A. People and their children were enslaved for their lifetime.
