In 1806, the antislavery forces brought a new bill before Parliament that would limit British involvement in the slave trade. So

me of the most powerful testimony in favor of the bill came from former army officers who had been to the Caribbean and had seen the courage of the former slaves and the horrors of slavery. The slaves spoke through the testimony of the very men who had gone to fight them. One member of Parliament told his colleagues of the tortures he had seen in the islands. Slavery was not an abstraction, an economic force, a counter in the game of world politics—it was the suffering of men and women. Members of Parliament were being confronted with the reality of slavery, just as audiences at Clarkson's lectures were when he showed shackles and whips. While Parliament debated the new bill, Clarkson and his allies went on lecturing, talking, changing minds all across England. They succeeded. Newspapers reported that even in Bristol, a port city with a harbor filled with slave ships, "the popular sentiment has been very strongly expressed against the continuance of that traffick in human flesh." –Sugar Changed the World, Marc Aronson and Marina Budhos How does this passage support the claim that the sugar trade led to the end of slavery in some parts of the world? It emphasizes that Parliament was biased toward plantation owners and wrongfully supported them. It shows that the French followed the example of the English in overthrowing the crown to free enslaved people. It describes how testimony on the brutal practices on sugar plantations convinced Parliament to end the slave trade. It demonstrates that neither Britain nor France wanted to make changes in the practice of slavery until America did.

What was one long-held belief challenged by new ideas of the Scientific Revolution?
loris [4]
Creationism.

As the scientific revolution radically challenged the power and authority of the Church, the Church sometimes hindered “innovations in the sciences and in philosophy”; but it shouldn’t be assumed that “religious belief and the scientific enterprise are inherently inimical to one another.”

For example, “Darwinism, the Copernican revolution and the Galileo affair are all too often regarded as demonstrating clearly and irrefutably that science and religion just do not mix.”

How did the Atlantic slave trade get slaves? (4 points)
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Africans captured and sold people to Europeans.

Explanation:

Most slaves from the African continent came from defeated groups, either in the hands of other African groups, or mostly from European armies. These were sold to European merchants in exchange for valued goods. From there, they were shipped mostly to the Americas and the Caribbean, which had a growing demand for more (and cheaper, if possible) labor, and slaves, as their upkeep was minimal, was more economical then hired hands.
