Almost 500,000 enslaved Africans arrived in North America between 1626 and 1875.

Answer 1

To analyze the information in the table, let's look closely at the options provided and the data:

• The total number of enslaved Africans who embarked between 1626 and 1875 is 472,382, which is noted in the table.
• The total number disembarked is 388,746.

Now, let's evaluate the statements:

1. In the years immediately before the Civil War (1861–1865) there was a large increase in the number of enslaved Africans brought to North America.

   • There were relatively few enslaved Africans imported in the years immediately before the Civil War. The numbers were low compared to earlier years (e.g., 1851–1875 had only 476 embarked). This statement is incorrect.

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

   • The total number of enslaved Africans who arrived between 1726 and 1775 is 129,004 (1726-1750) + 144,468 (1751-1775) = 273,472. This indeed is more than half of 472,382 (which is the total). Therefore, this statement is correct.

3. The number of enslaved Africans who came to North America increased significantly after the American Revolution (1776–1784).

   • After the American Revolution, the next segment (1776-1800) shows a decrease (36,279). Thus, this statement is incorrect.

4. Almost 500,000 enslaved Africans arrived in North America between 1626 and 1875.

   • The total number is 472,382, which is indeed close to, but not quite, 500,000. Therefore, the statement is somewhat misleading but can be interpreted as generally correct in terms of being a large number. However, it is not accurate to say "almost 500,000" as it is less than that. This statement is not entirely correct.

The best choice based on the analysis of the table data is “More than half of all enslaved Africans who came to North America arrived between 1726 and 1775.”
