Ineed asap. sugar was the connection, the tie, between slavery and freedom. in order to create sugar, europeans and colonists in the americas destroyed africans, turned them into objects. just at that very same moment, europeans—at home and across the atlantic—decided that they could no longer stand being objects themselves. they each needed to vote, to speak out, to challenge the rules of crowned kings and royal princes. how could that be? why did people keep speaking of equality while profiting from slaves? in fact, the global hunger for slave-grown sugar led directly to the end of slavery. following the strand of sugar and slavery leads directly into the tumult of the age of revolutions.

for in north america, then england, france, haiti, and once again north america, the age of sugar brought about the great, final clash between freedom and slavery. which sentence best states the authors' claim in this passage?

a. economic demand for sugar led to political pressure to end enslavement.
b. the growing demand for sugar made the lives of enslaved people even worse.
c. turning africans into objects was important for the sugar industry to succeed.
d. monarchies became increasingly strong and popular during the age of sugar.

The correct answer is A) economic demand for sugar led to political pressure to end enslavement.

The sentence that best states the author's claim in this passage is "economic demand for sugar led to political pressure to end enslavement."

The author writes the following, supporting the sentence: " In fact, the global hunger for slave-grown sugar led directly to the end of slavery. Following the strand of sugar and slavery leads directly into the tumult of the Age of Revolutions." And the author continues its argument when it writes that "...for in North America, then England, France, Haiti, and once again North America, the Age of Sugar brought about the great, final clash between freedom and slavery," meaning that in those countries the issue of enslavement was finally resolved after so many conflicts and confrontations.
