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. Guilty husbands from Tremé (“truh-MAY”) supposedly ordered “peacemakers” made from these animals at the French Market. These animals were burnt to build Kingsley Plantation and Fort Frederica with “tabby concrete.” Freedmens’ villages like Hobson harvested these animals near Suffolk until chlordecone polluted an ecosystem where their so-called “pirates” fought wars over dredging their beds. These animals were considered a poor man’s food prior to factory farming of chickens. They are fried with shrimp in New Orleans po’ boys. For 10 points, watermen on the Chesapeake shucked what edible mollusks? ■END■
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.)
