How did slavery most likely contribute to the end of mississippian civilizations? a -american indians adopted european customs to avoid slavery. b-settlements shrank as american indians were enslaved. c-american indians fled their villages to avoid being enslaved. d- settlements split over europeans enslave others.

B. Settlements shrank as American Indians were enslaved

Explanation:

During this time many Natives were enslaved and sold by colonists for money. This was later changed when they started enslaving African Americans instead of American Indians because they were more immune to diseases and illnesses and as the Natives were dying out they needed someone to fill that role.

A. Is wrong because they did not avoid slavery.

B. Is correct for the reason I stated above.

C. Is wrong because they did not flee. They were either enslaved or the rest were sent to reservations when they eventually completely lost all of their land when more settlers came and the French lost the French and Indian war, so when the French had to leave the Americas, all hope was lost for the Natives.

D. Is wrong because settlements did not split over helping Europeans enslave others... that is not correct whatsoever.
