Answer 1

I believe "B" & "C" not 100% tho

Answer 2

The right answer is B and C.

Southern farmers owned a large number of black slaves and did not willingly accept the end of slavery because they believed that this change was detrimental to the development of their crops, which depended exclusively on slave labor.

At the time of colonization, the Southerners abandoned the search for minerals to invest in tobacco cultivation, as they did not find gold in the region and saw that cultivation was much more profitable. The labor force used at the outset was free, but due to the high costs, slave labor was also used.

Farmers began to distance themselves from each other for miles of plantation and the colony's economy was based exclusively on tobacco cultivation.
