Read the passage from sugar changed the world. slave owners fought back, arguing that owners should be able to list their slaves as property when they arrived in france and take them with them when they left. though most parts of france agreed to this, lawÂmakers in paris hesitated. pierre lemerre the younger made the case for the slaves. "all men are equal," he insisted in 1716âexactly sixty years before the declaration of independence. to say that "all men are equal" in 1716, when slavery was flourishing in every corner of the world and most eastern europeans themselves were farmers who could be sold along with the land they worked, was like announcing that there was a new sun in the sky. in the age of sugar, when slavery was more brutal than ever before, the idea that all humans are equal began to spreadâtoppling kings, overturning governments, transforming the entire world. 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, europeansâat home and across the atlanticâdecided 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 excerpt from the passage best states the authors' claim? "slave owners fought back, arguing that owners should be able to list their slaves as property . . " "'all men are equal,' he insisted in 1716âexactly sixty years before the declaration of independence." "why did people keep speaking of equality while profiting from slaves? " "following the strand of sugar and slavery leads directly into the tumult of the age of revolutions."
