okay thanks

Yes, both answers are right.

Check number 1. It's possible that the answer is c.

You're welcome.

I' stepping in here late, but I think you'll find that harvesting pine in the South involved African-American labor and Georgia "heart pine" was important in furniture-making and building supplies going back to colonial times.

thanks reed

reed is right

For the first question, "Which economic activity did not depend on the involvement of African Americans?" the correct answer is d. textile industry.

To arrive at this answer, you would need to have knowledge of the history of African Americans in America and their involvement in various economic activities. Let's break it down:

a. The cattle industry did involve the participation of African Americans, particularly in the southern states, where they were often involved in herding, branding, and other labor-intensive tasks related to cattle farming.
b. The cultivation of rice in the southern states, particularly in South Carolina, heavily relied on the involvement of African American slaves. This labor-intensive crop required skilled workers for the planting, maintaining, and harvesting processes.
c. The forest industry, including logging and timber operations, also involved the participation of African Americans. Many African Americans were employed in harvesting timber, as well as sawmills and other related industries.

Therefore, the correct answer is d. textile industry. This is because African Americans were not heavily involved in the early textile industry, which primarily relied on industrial machinery and did not require the same level of physical labor as other industries during that time.

Moving on to your second question, "How did the Huguenots contribute to the economy of Carolina?" You have chosen a. They were skilled craftsmen as the correct answer, and you are correct.

To confirm your choice:
a. The Huguenots, who were French Protestants fleeing religious persecution in the late 17th century, brought with them skills and expertise in various crafts and trades such as silk weaving, pottery, woodworking, and ironworks. Their arrival helped diversify and enhance the economy of Carolina through their craftsmanship and the establishment of new industries. Many Huguenots found success and contributed to the economic growth of the region.

b. While it is true that some Huguenots came from progressive countries like Germany, this option is not directly related to their contribution to the Carolina economy.

c. The headright system, which was a land distribution system offering land grants to settlers, did not specifically attract Huguenots. It applied to a broader group of colonists and immigrants.

Therefore, the correct answer is a. They were skilled craftsmen. Well done!
