To analyze the information in the table, let's break down each of the responses in relation to the data provided.

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

    • The table shows that the number of enslaved Africans disembarked during the years immediately following the American Revolution (1776–1800) was actually lower (30,686) compared to prior periods like 1726–1750 (106,671) and 1751–1775 (118,822). Thus, this statement is not correct.

  2. 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.

    • The years right before the Civil War (1851–1875) show only 476 enslaved Africans embarked and 413 disembarked, which is quite low compared to earlier periods. Therefore, this statement is not correct.

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

    • The total number of enslaved Africans who disembarked, according to the table, is 388,746. This is less than 500,000, so this statement is not correct.

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

    • The total number of enslaved Africans disembarked from 1726 to 1775 is 106,671 (1726–1750) + 118,822 (1751–1775) = 225,493. Since the overall total is 388,746, and 225,493 is indeed more than half of that total, this statement is correct.

Based on the analysis, the correct statement is:

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