Read the passage from sugar changed the world. the end of slavery was a great step for human rights. but what did it mean on the sugar plantations—which had depended on extremely cheap labor to keep up with the twenty-four-hour cycle from harvest to mill? in 1836, the same john gladstone whose sugar estate had exhibited the chained body of the slave leader quamina wrote to a shipping company. gladstone asked it to provide a hundred workers (the slang name was "coolies") from india to labor on his plantations. gladstone's first ships, the whitby, carrying 249 passengers, and the hesperus, carrying 244, sailed for demerara in 1838. what evidence do the authors include to support the central idea that the sugar plantations' cheap labor source changed from enslaved people to indentured indians? a. the sugar plantations depended on cheap labor. b. the sugar plantations had a 24-hour cycle. c. gladstone asked the shipping company to provide workers. d. gladstone exhibited the chained body of quamina.

The correct answer is C.

In this passage of "Sugar Changed the World", the author shows that the cheap labour source changed from slaves to indentured indiands by explaining that Gladstone had to ask a shipping company to send him new workers for his plantation.

Since black slaves had been granted freedom, they were no longer the source of extremely cheap labour that had allowed sugar plantations to be so successful. Therefore, the owners of the plantations had to look for cheap manpower in a different group of people. In this case, Indians.

The correct answer is C. Gladstone asked the shipping company to provide workers.

This is the evidence that Glastone transitioned from using slave labor to hiring low wage workers for his sugar plantations. The rest of the choices are true, but are not the main support.

answer: b. the benefits of mandatory voting in the united states far outweigh the potential drawbacks.

this is because the other choices are biased.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
