Social Studies BJC Set 2 Practice Test

Loyalist arrival reshaped population dynamics by bringing a large number of enslaved Africans to the Bahamas, alongside the white Loyalists who settled there. The enslaved population grew significantly with these arrivals, and while White Loyalists also settled and owned land, the sheer scale of the enslaved Black population meant that Blacks came to outnumber Whites. This demographic shift helped create a Black-majority society in the Bahamas during that period. The other possibilities don’t fit because the population did change due to the influx, and it wasn’t the Whites who became the majority.
