Question

A festival in Bahia (“bah-EE-uh”) celebrates these animals pointing the way to Quilombo Kaonge (“kee-LOAM-boo kah-OWN-jee”). Black workers processed these animals until a resort polluted their Daufuskie cannery. The abolitionist Thomas Downing was dubbed the “king” of these animals in the Five Points. (10[1])Guilty husbands from Tremé (“truh-MAY”) supposedly ordered “peacemakers” made from these animals at the French Market. (-5[1])These animals (10[1])were burnt to build (-5[1])Kingsley Plantation and Fort Frederica with “tabby concrete.” (-5[1])Freedmens’ villages like Hobson harvested these animals near Suffolk (10[1])until chlordecone polluted an ecosystem where their so-called “pirates” fought wars over dredging their beds. These (10[1])animals were considered (-5[1])a poor man’s (-5[1])food (10[2]-5[4])prior to (-5[1])factory farming (-5[2])of chickens. (-5[3])They are fried with shrimp in New Orleans po’ boys. (-5[1])For 10 points, watermen on the Chesapeake shucked what edible mollusks? (10[3])■END■ (10[7]0[4])

ANSWER: oysters [accept oyster beds, oystermen, oyster pirates, oystering villages, oyster cottages, or Festa da Ostra; prompt on mollusks or Mollusca until “mollusks” is read; prompt on seafood or bivalves; reject “clams” or “mussels”] (The resort was Hilton Head. The lime in tabby concrete comes from burnt oyster shells.)
