The correct answer is A) the arrival of enslaved Africans and indentured servants.

What divided colonial society in South Carolina during the 1700s was the arrival of enslaved Africans and indentured servants.

The real problem was jobs. White people from South Carolina believed that the arrival of slaves and indentured servants meant more competition for available jobs. Slaves and indentured servants worked for almost nothing and plantation owners preferred to have these people than hiring white people. Hiring white people meant to pay them more money.
