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 dominant in the Atlantic world, where the system was structured so that nearly all enslaved people were of African descent, a shift from earlier forms of slavery that was not limited to one racial group. The other options are incorrect: emancipation was not a widespread accessible option for enslaved people in this era, enslaved people were treated as property not employees, and while family separation was common, it was not universal to all enslaved people.

Answer:

All enslaved people were of African descent.
