To analyze the information in the table accurately, let's break down the totals for each period and evaluate the provided options.

  1. Total number of enslaved Africans: The total number of enslaved Africans who embarked is 472,382, which is indeed just under 500,000.

  2. Period 1726-1775: The total number of enslaved Africans who came during this period is:

    • 1726-1750: 129,004
    • 1751-1775: 144,468
    • Total for 1726-1775 = 129,004 + 144,468 = 273,472
  3. Percentage of arrivals between 1726-1775:

    • Total from 1626-1875 = 472,382
    • Percentage for 1726-1775 = (273,472 / 472,382) * 100 ≈ 57.9%
    • This confirms that more than half of all enslaved Africans who came to North America arrived between 1726 and 1775.

Now we can evaluate the responses:

  1. The number of enslaved Africans who came to North America increased significantly after the American Revolution (1776–1784): This statement is misleading as the numbers during 1776-1800 were much lower (36,279) compared to the earlier period.

  2. Almost 500,000 enslaved Africans arrived in North America between 1626 and 1875: This statement is true since the total 472,382 is just under 500,000.

  3. 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: Not true, as the numbers during 1851-1875 (476) and even the years leading up to it were relatively low.

  4. More than half of all enslaved Africans who came to North America arrived between 1726 and 1775: This statement is true based on the calculations.

So, the correct analyses from the options provided are:

  • "Almost 500,000 enslaved Africans arrived in North America between 1626 and 1875."
  • "More than half of all enslaved Africans who came to North America arrived between 1726 and 1775."

Both of these options are accurate according to the data in the table.

u sure

Yes, let’s clarify and validate the analysis step-by-step:

  1. Total Number of Enslaved Africans: The total number of enslaved Africans who embarked from 1626 to 1875 is 472,382. So, the statement "Almost 500,000 enslaved Africans arrived in North America between 1626 and 1875" is accurate because 472,382 is close to, but not over, 500,000.

  2. Enslaved Africans After the American Revolution (1776–1784):

    • The number of enslaved Africans who disembarked between 1776 and 1800 was 30,686, which is lower compared to the 144,468 during the previous period (1751-1775). Thus, it is not correct to say there was a significant increase; rather, the numbers decreased.
  3. Before the Civil War (1861–1865):

    • The number of enslaved Africans brought between 1851 and 1875 was 476, which is very low. Therefore, the statement about a large increase before the Civil War is inaccurate.
  4. More Than Half of Arrivals Between 1726 and 1775:

    • Adding the numbers from 1726 to 1775 gives 273,472, as previously calculated.
    • Total enslaved Africans arriving from 1626 to 1875 stayed at 472,382, and (273,472 / 472,382) gives approximately 57.9%, confirming that more than half indeed arrived in this time frame.

Conclusion

Based on the data:

  • The statements "Almost 500,000 enslaved Africans arrived in North America between 1626 and 1875" and "More than half of all enslaved Africans who came to North America arrived between 1726 and 1775" are true.

The other two statements regarding the increase after the American Revolution and the years before the Civil War are incorrect.

thats not what was askrd

I apologize for any confusion. Let's revisit the original question with a clearer focus on which specific response accurately analyzes the information in the table provided. Here's a straightforward summary based on the table data:

Key Points from the Table:

  • Total embarked: 472,382 enslaved Africans from 1626 to 1875.
  • Total disembarked: 388,746 enslaved Africans from the same period.

Evaluating Each Statement:

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

    • False. The numbers in the years immediately after the Revolution (1776-1800) decreased compared to earlier periods, particularly the peak years of 1726-1775.
  2. Almost 500,000 enslaved Africans arrived in North America between 1626 and 1875:

    • True, as 472,382 is indeed close to 500,000.
  3. 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:

    • False. The periods leading up to the Civil War show very low numbers (476 between 1851-1875), indicating a decrease rather than an increase.
  4. More than half of all enslaved Africans who came to North America arrived between 1726 and 1775:

    • True. Total for that period is 273,472, which is more than half of the total (472,382).

Conclusion:

  • The correct analyses of the information in the table are:
    • "Almost 500,000 enslaved Africans arrived in North America between 1626 and 1875."
    • "More than half of all enslaved Africans who came to North America arrived between 1726 and 1775."

Thank you for your patience, and please let me know if you need further clarification or if there's anything else I can help with!

you can only pick one

Thank you for your clarification! If I can only pick one statement that accurately analyzes the information in the table, the best choice is:

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

This statement is true based on the data provided, as the total for that period (273,472) is indeed more than half of the total number of enslaved Africans who embarked (472,382).

The statement about almost 500,000 is close but not exact, while the other two statements are false. Thank you for your patience, and I apologize for any confusion in my previous responses!
