Answer:
A. African Americans as happy but lazy slaves
Explanation:
When African Americans were not working at the field, many of them socialize with one another. They often sing, dance, or engaged in some other communal activities. Something that they can do to at least help them go through their hardships.
But, slave owners often viewed this behavior as 'happy but lazy'. In their perspective, slaves should always be working for their plantations without having fun like that.
