Answer to Question 1

Ideal Answer: The ideal answer should:
1. Define each agricultural sector in terms of export percentage, income production, and regional concentration.
2. Explain that the rice, cotton and sugar sectors required a great amount of labor and a greater intensity of labor than other sectors.
3. Describe the decline of tobacco and the expansion of cotton based on technological developments like the invention of the cotton gin in 1793.
4. Explain the connections between slavery and the expansion of sugar, cotton, and rice, but not tobacco, which was declining as an agricultural product.

Answer to Question 2

Ideal Answer: The ideal answer should:
1. Explain the cost and benefit analysis for masters regarding black slave children: they performed limited labor and did not receive many resources.
2. Define the limited odd jobs and daily light labor expected of black children.
3. Explain the increased labor expected of young adult slaves as they assimilated to adult work regimes.
4. Outline how on larger plantations nuclear households remained relatively intact, children had one or more parents with them, African culture was strong, and fictive kinship flourished.
5. Outline how on smaller plantations children experienced less contact with other blacks, closer association with white master's family, less African cultural influence, greater assimilation to white society, and less opportunity for resistance and escape.
