Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
- Option A: The excerpts don't show that plantation owners are hostile to formerly enslaved laborers. Washington emphasizes the loyalty of Black people, and Pillow says there's "no hostility to our former servants," so A is incorrect.
- Option B: Washington's argument is about using the Black population (not about immigrant vs. native - born worker costs), and Pillow's is about bringing in immigrants at a lower cost than individual efforts, but Washington doesn't address immigrant labor costs. So B is incorrect.
- Option C: Washington argues that the South's success depends on including the Black population (a labor - related group), and Pillow argues that the South's agricultural problems (related to progress) are due to insufficient labor and proposes a solution to get more labor. So both believe southern progress depends on addressing labor issues.
- Option D: Washington's focus is on racial cooperation and using the Black population for the South's success, not on industrialization for job creation. Pillow's focus is on getting labor for agriculture, not industrialization for jobs. So D is incorrect.

# Answer:
C. Both believe that southern progress and prosperity depend on addressing a question of labor.
