Answer 2

Both passages use evidence to show that knowledge of the extreme brutality of the sugar trade changed viewpoints about enslavement.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Sugar Changed the World" is a book written by Marc Aronson and Marina Budhos. It centers on the role of "sugar" and its connection to slavery. Africans were primarily enslaved in order to work in the production of sugar. It became an "engine" that drove the slave trade.

The two passages above showed how knowledge of the extreme brutality of the sugar trade led to the change of viewpoints that people have on enslavement.

The first passage mentioned how most Eastern European farmers could easily be sold as slaves. This was considered brutal. However, the knowledge that "all men are equal" changed the viewpoint of people. People were given hope in the midst of a terrible situation.

The second passage mentioned about Olaudah Equiano's educating his readers regarding the horrors of slave trade. This is considered knowledge that the readers have gained. Boycotts then followed because people started to know how brutal and bad their enslavement condition was.
