Question
citing evidence to support a claim
human rights versus property rights: that argument goes on today, for example, is debate over closely set regulations as mining. is it we to let owners to rules, which is likely to get all of the cheaper coal, or to have the government set standards, which is more likely to protect workers and the environment? in france, one side of the argument that slaves must be freed. the other said that to change anything in the sugar islands would invite slave revolts, help france’s rivals, and thus hurt the nation. in the new united states, the revolution gave white men with property a sense of freedom, while africans were still enslaved. in england, abolitionist spoke up for africans, but kings and lords still ruled. in france, revolutionaries were turning against their own nobles but remained uncertain about what this meant for enslaved africans, and no one of freedom against the rights of property was pressing ideas of freedom against these great clashes.
which line from the passage best provides evidence that the sugar trade led to the end of slavery?
- \in france, one side argued that slaves must be freed.\
- \to change anything in the sugar islands would invite slave revolts, help france’s rivals, and thus hurt the nation.\
-
o one was sure where these great clashes would lead.\
- \in revolutionary france, the defenders of slaves began to win the argument against the advocates of property rights.\
To solve this, we analyze each option to see which shows the sugar trade's role in ending slavery:
- Option 1: Talks about freeing slaves in France but not the link to sugar trade. Eliminate.
- Option 2: Discusses not changing sugar island systems (to avoid helping rivals), not about ending slavery. Eliminate.
- Option 3: About uncertainty of clashes, not sugar trade and slavery’s end. Eliminate.
- Option 4: In revolutionary France, defenders of slaves (arguing against property rights tied to sugar trade) began winning. This shows the sugar trade (tied to property rights over slaves) was challenged, leading to slavery’s end.
