Read the passage and review the image from Sugar Changed the World.
Caption: Enslaved people working in a sugar plantation (illustration by William Clark)
How does the image best support the text?
The correct answer is number 4:
- The image shows where the authors came from and how their families were involved with sugar.
The author says that his great-grandparents come from India to Guyana to work on the sugar plantations. That although slavery was abolished in the British Empire in 1833 (thirty years before the Emancipation Proclamation in the United States), British sugar plantation owners looked up in India to find cheap labor to cut cane and process sugar. Meaning that this was also an enslaved work because of the conditions that were given for Indians.
