Based on the data provided in the table regarding the importation of enslaved Africans to North America from 1626 to 1875, the following analysis can be made:

  1. Total Numbers: The total number of enslaved Africans embarked is 472,382, and the total number disembarked is 388,746. This indicates that a significant number of enslaved Africans did not survive the journey.

  2. Major Import Periods:

    • The largest number of enslaved Africans arrived between 1726 and 1750 (129,004 disembarked).
    • Between 1751 and 1775, 144,468 were embarked, leading to 118,822 disembarked.

  3. Post-Revolution Trends: After the American Revolution (post-1776), the numbers do show fluctuations but do not indicate a significant increase immediately after. In fact, disembarkation in the immediate post-revolution years (1776-1800) dropped to 30,686, which is less than the previous periods.

  4. Pre-Civil War Trends: There isn’t a noticeable large increase in imports before the Civil War years when considering the data at face value. In fact, the period from 1826 to 1850 shows an increase but not enormously when compared to previous periods, especially between 1751-1775 and 1726-1750.

Given these observations, the statement "More than half of all enslaved Africans who came to North America arrived between 1726 and 1775" is accurate because if you sum these figures, they surpass 50% of the total (252,000 out of 472,382).

Therefore, the correct analysis among the provided responses is:

More than half of all enslaved Africans who came to North America arrived between 1726 and 1775.
