"Slavery, though imposed and maintained by violence, was a negotiated relationship.... First, even as they confronted one another, master and slave had to concede, however grudgingly, a degree of legitimacy to the other.... [T]he web of interconnections between master and slave necessitated a coexistence that fostered cooperation as well as contestation. Second, because the circumstances of such contestation and cooperation continually changed, slavery itself continually changed. . . . Slavery was never made, but instead was continually remade, for power—no matter how great—was never absolute, but always contingent."Ira Berlin, historian, Many Thousands Gone: The First Two Centuries of Slavery in North America, 1998Which of the following primary sources would most likely support Berlin's argument in the excerpt?AData showing the growth of the enslaved population during the 1700sBRecords of purchases and sales of slaves from a plantation in the SouthCDiary entries from a slaveholder discussing plantation lifeDSpeeches about slavery given by officials in the British colonial government
