Answer 1

The most accurate response regarding enslaved Africans in the colonial South is:

C: developed a society and culture of their own.

While enslaved Africans were indeed separated from whites (A) and often lived on large plantations rather than being widely scattered on small farms (D), they managed to create their own distinct cultures, practices, and communities despite the oppressive conditions they faced. The formation of their own schools and universities (B) was not commonplace due to severe restrictions.
