What was a major factor in selecting a slave bound for america? age tribe gender or race

I believe race would be the best answer. Some races were seen less then others back then, and when selecting slaves the most common race that were sold as slaves were African Americans.

I hope this helped!

i do believe its (d) it allowed the government to offer pioneers sixty acres of western land if they lived on it and made improvements to it.

explanation: signed into law in may 1862, the homestead act opened up settlement in the western united states, allowing any american, including freed slaves, to put in a claim for up to 160 free acres of federal land. by the end of the civil war, 15,000 homestead claims had been established, and more followed in the postwar years
