read the passage from sugar changed the world. by the 1800s, it was clear that the age of sugar—that combination of enslavement, factories, and global trade—was replacing the age of honey, when people ate local foods, lived on the land of their ancestors, and valued tradition over change. sugar was the product of the slave and the addiction of the poor factory worker—the meeting place of the barbarism of overseers such as thomas thistlewood and the rigid new economy. and yet, for that very reason, sugar also became the lynchpin of the struggle for freedom. when we talk about atlantic slavery, we must describe sugar hell; and yet that is only part of the story. africans were at the heart of this great change in the economy, indeed in the lives of people throughout the world. africans were the true global citizens—adjusting to a new land, a new religion, even to other africans they would never have met in their homelands. which text evidence best supports the authors claim and purpose? \sugar was the product of the slave and the addiction of the poor factory worker—the meeting place of the barbarism of overseers such as thomas thistlewood and the rigid new economy.\ \when we talk about atlantic slavery, we must describe sugar hell; and yet that is only part of the story.\ \africans were the true global citizens—adjusting to a new land, a new religion, even to other africans they would never have met in their homelands.\ \and indeed, it was when the enslaved africans began to speak—in words and in actions—when europeans began to see them as human, that the age of sugar also became the age of freedom.\

Answer

Brief Explanations:

The passage discusses how sugar was linked to slavery but also became a part of the struggle for freedom. The last option directly ties the actions of enslaved Africans speaking up (in words and actions) and being seen as human by Europeans to the Age of Sugar also becoming the Age of Freedom, which best supports the idea that sugar was involved in the struggle for freedom as stated in the passage.

Answer:

"And indeed, it was when the enslaved Africans began to speak—in words and in actions—when Europeans began to see them as human, that the Age of Sugar also became the Age of Freedom."
