Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pieces of the slavery system remain in the U.S. today, such as systemic racism, unequal access to education and employment, and disproportionate representation in the criminal justice system. The other statements are false or incomplete. Enslaved Africans actively resisted their enslavement through uprisings, sabotage, and escape. The Emancipation Proclamation did not immediately end slavery, and economic exploitation of Black labor continued in sharecropping and other forms of agricultural servitude. The northern migration of Black Americans was driven by opportunities for better economic and social conditions, though it did result in the creation of urban ghettos due to discriminatory housing policies and practices.
