Teagan Morris · Answer 1

The answer is "as valuable property". This is definitely the correct answer.

Elias · Answer 2

The correct answer for this question is C. In the pre-Civil War years slaves were regarded as valuable property. They were sold for money to other slave-owners in the south without any regard for their humanity or right to a free life. Their health and skills were considered, but only in the context of whether this added to or took away from their value.
