Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
In frontier conditions, there were fewer white people to oversee the slaves and therefore they had more autonomy and opportunity to form their own communities and engage in economic activities. In contrast, on plantations and in coastal cities, slaves were tightly controlled and restricted in their movements and interactions.
