C. As Europeans conquered more and more of the New World, the demand for slaves to work in these new territories grew. That demand, in turn, encouraged the expansion of the slave trade. Slavery developed along different lines in various regions of the New World. The most marked differences were those between slavery in the American South and slavery in Brazil and the West Indies. Below is a list of the basic characteristics of these two kinds of slavery. Using the menus, match each of these with the appropriate region.

2. slaves typically worked to death and then replaced by new arrivals form Africa


3. slaves a majority of the population


4. slaves widely dispersed over relatively small holdings


5. by 1830 slave population represented over one-third of slaves in New World
