Why did many planters consider slave women more valuable than slave men?
 
  a. Since slave women prepared the food for the planter's family, their labor was perceived as a necessity.
  b. Since slave women cared for all the white children on the plantation, they were perceived as mother figures.
  c. Since the children of slave women were also slaves, their offspring added to the planter's labor force andcapital.
 d. Since cotton was the crop tended by slave women, their labor accounted for most of a plantation's profit.
