Question

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.

The leaders of the American Revolution kept close watch as the former slaves fought for their freedom in Haiti. But that fight split the Founding Fathers—who had their own conflicts about how to deal with slavery in the new United States. When John Adams was president, he sent guns and supplies to Toussaint to help in the struggle against the French. Thomas Jefferson, though, was terrified by the success of the Haitian revolution.
When Thomas Jefferson succeeded Adams, he saw Haiti only as a threat. He expected ex-slaves from the island to spread into America, preaching freedom and rebellion to the slaves. "Unless something is done," he warned, "and soon done, we shall be the murderers of our own children . . . ; the revolutionary storm now sweeping the globe will be upon us." So he refused to recognize Haiti—America's only sister republic. In fact, it was not until 1862 that Abraham Lincoln, about to issue the Emancipation Proclamation, finally established relations with Haiti.
Americans like Jefferson were proud of having fought for their freedom. But as long as they could still see Africans as property, they could not treat Haitians as equally brave and courageous human beings. For if Haitians could claim their freedom and be recognized by America, why couldn't slaves within the United States do the same thing?
In this passage, how do the authors use historical details to support the claim that US political leaders’ positions on slavery impacted the relations between the United States and Haiti? Select three options.
by explaining that the Founding Fathers held the same beliefs about the rebellions in Haiti
by quoting Thomas Jefferson’s views on the dangers of enslaved Haitians rebelling
by describing John Adams's actions to support Haiti in its fight against the French
by revealing the Founding Fathers’ views that Haiti was America’s only sister republic
by illustrating Thomas Jefferson’s view that the Haitian rebellion could lead to a rebellion of the enslaved in America

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

This is how the authors use historical details to support the claim that US political leaders’ positions on slavery impacted the relations between the US and Haiti:

1. by describing John Adams' actions to support Haiti in its fight against the French. President Adams was opposed to slavery in principle (he thought it was the against the values of republicanism) and in practice (he did not own any). This probably explains his decision to "sen[d] guns and supplies" to Haiti in the self-liberated slaves' rebellion against French colonists.
2. by quoting Thomas Jefferson’s views on the dangers of enslaved Haitians rebelling. Indeed, the text tells us that "Jefferson ... was terrified by the success of the Haitian revolution." This position by the new president impacted the US' relation with Haiti because Haiti was viewed "only as a threat" and not as a sister republic.
3. by illustrating Thomas Jefferson’s view that the Haitian rebellion could lead to a rebellion of the enslaved in America. This is the continuation of the previous answer. The authors write that Jefferson "expected ex-slaves from the island to spread into America, preaching ... rebellion to the slaves." Another sentence repeats this claim: "if Haitians could claim their freedom ... , why couldn't slaves within the United States do the same thing?"
