Question

Which of the following describes the most common ways slavery affected African families in America

Answer 1

Even if they weren't slaves, they had no proof of them not because of their skin color.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because of the fugitive slave act, African Americans were put into slavery even in the North. Even if they were free and had never been a slave, they had no way to prove that they weren't an escaped slave. People just assumed they were because of their skin color.
