Nat Turner's Rebellion of 1831 caused a major reaction in the South for all of the following reasons

Christianity for African Americans 
Was a religion of spiritual freedom helping blacks survive oppression.

The most important cause of the Old South's prosperity was
The English textile mills.

The increase in cotton production in the Lower South 
Led to a thriving internal slave trade, dividing families.

Leaders of slave revolts in the nineteenth century included all of the following EXCEPT' 
Absalom Jones.

African Americans sold under the internal slave trade 
Were often resentful of the forced migration and labor.

The African-American slave population in the South grew as a result of higher birth rates because 
Women adopted the practice of breastfeeding for one year.

African-American house servants in the South 
Had to sacrifice their own families to care for the master's.

Life for the planter elite 
Was based on the paternalistic belief that the plantation was one big family.

Marriage for slaves 
Was a more equal partnership than whites had.

The internal slave trade after 1820 
Involved little humane feeling but generated high profits.

The development of the South as a slave society 
Made the master-slave relationship the model for the whole society.

Field work on the plantations
Was labor readily and commonly enforced by the overseer's whip.

The percentage of southern white people who owned slaves in 1830 was
36 percent

Changes in the South between 1830 and 1860 included 
A greater feeling of insecurity among yeoman farmers.

One of the most common violations of the plantation as one big family with the master as benevolent father was 
The forcible rape of black women by their masters.

Nat Turner's Rebellion of 1831 caused a major reaction in the South for all of the following reasons EXCEPT 
Turner was a religious person who had had visions.

African Americans were sustained during slavery by
Their ability to form bonds and a sense of community.

"Alabama Fever" is best described as 
The zeal that southerners displayed for acquiring new lands in the deep South in order to grow cotton using slave labor.

The "Second Middle Passage" refers to: 
The transportation of slaves from one region to another in the deep South

The cotton gin was important because
It meant that the demand for land among Southerners would increase.
