Answer 1

Analyzing the data in the table, the most accurate statement is:

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

To support this conclusion, we can look at the totals:

• Total arrivals from 1626 to 1875: 472,382
• Arrivals from 1726 to 1775: 129,004 (1726–1750) + 144,468 (1751–1775) = 273,472

Now, we can calculate the proportion of arrivals during this period:

273,472 (from 1726 to 1775) / 472,382 (total) = approximately 57.8%

Since this is more than half, this statement is correct.

Other statements do not hold up based on the data provided.
