Which quotation provides evidence to support the claim that the sugar trade led to the end of slavery?

“The English public . . . knew little about the lives of the enslaved Africans whose labor sweetened their meals.”

“Every Englishman who . . . built the barrels to hold slave-harvested sugar made his money from the slave trade.”

“The English were getting richer because Africans were being turned into property.”

“While that link gave the English a stake in slavery, it also gave the antislavery forces an opportunity.”

Answer:

"While that link gave the English a stake in slavery, it also gave the antislavery forces an opportunity."

Explanation: This one mentions how the anti-slavery group was given an oppurtunity, whereas all the other quotes were talking about those who partook in the slave trade, whether it be directly or indirectly. Or talking about how the Africans were property thus making the English richer.
