Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 10.55 Coerced Labor Systems skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

An essay draft says, "Europeans used one labor system in every colony and estate." Which revision would make the claim more historically precise?

AEarly modern economies used only serfdom because all workers were tied to Russian estates.

BEarly modern economies used only indentured servitude because no laborers were forced.

CEarly modern economies used no coerced labor because all workers freely chose employers.

DEarly modern economies used different coerced labor systems, including encomienda, repartimiento, mita, chattel slavery, indenture, and serfdom, depending on region and purpose.

Solution & Explanation:The revision accurately emphasizes variety across regions and economic purposes. The distractors replace one overgeneralization with another.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Which student's explanation is most accurate?

AMita was the same as indentured servitude because both were voluntary contracts for ocean passage.

BSerfdom was identical to repartimiento because both always involved Caribbean sugar plantations.

CEncomienda involved tribute or labor from Indigenous communities, while chattel slavery treated people as property.

DChattel slavery and indentured servitude were identical because both always ended after fixed terms.

Solution & Explanation:The accurate explanation distinguishes two systems by their legal mechanisms. The other statements confuse contracts, regions, and duration.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Which example would be strongest evidence for an AP World History Unit 4 discussion of coerced labor and global silver flows?

AA Baltic estate demanded labor dues from peasants tied to the lord's land.

BPotosi silver production expanded through mita drafts from Andean communities.

CA Chesapeake planter used servants who worked for passage under set-term contracts.

DA Spanish grantee collected tribute from an Indigenous town while claiming protection duties.

Solution & Explanation:Potosi silver and Andean mita drafts connect coerced labor directly to global silver flows. The other examples are relevant to labor systems but not as directly to silver flows.
