There is no mention of a secondary source about the British secretary of war opposing involuntary servitude, no statistic about English voters, and no primary source about white people opposing freeing enslaved people.

Answer:

B. They use a primary source to show that a song was spreading the idea of equality across the Caribbean.
C. They use a secondary source to show that the idea of an enslaved people's revolt was groundbreaking.
