Solution

The true statement about enslaved communities on southern plantations is: "Enslaved people maintained a family life despite the possibility that a family member could be sold."

This is true because, despite the harsh conditions and the constant threat of family members being sold away, enslaved people on southern plantations strived to maintain a sense of family and community. They formed relationships, had children, and created a culture that was a blend of African and American elements. These relationships provided a source of support and resistance against the dehumanizing aspects of slavery.

The other statements are not accurate. African folkways did not disappear but rather evolved and integrated with American culture. Marriages among enslaved people were not legally recognized, and resistance to slavery did not lead to a drop in the slave trade.
