Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World. The Indian coolies and the ex-slaves, who resented these newcomers flooding into

the colonies and driving down wages, were instant rivals. This was convenient for the planters—who were skilled at the game of divide and rule. The planters lumped their workers into two distinct but equally nasty stereotypes: Former slaves were described as lazy, whereas Indians were called meek, docile children. "You may have work and plenty of it for a black man and a coloured man, and they will not do it,” claimed planter W. Alleyne Ireland. He conveniently ignored the fact that the ex-slaves wanted to work their own land, not labor for their former owners. The overseers praised the Indians' meekness but also held them in contempt. The Indian, one overseer claimed, "possesses the low, cringing and abject habit common to his nationality." What evidence do the authors include to support the central idea that Indian workers and formerly enslaved people became rivals? anecdotal evidence that Indian workers and formerly enslaved people were paid wages on different scales empirical evidence that planters ignored the fact that formerly enslaved people wanted to work their own land empirical evidence that planters tried to pit formerly enslaved people against Indian workers to the planters’ advantage logical evidence that Indian workers and formerly enslaved people did not get along with one another because wages went down

The author includes logical evidence that Indian workers and formerly enslaved people didn't get along because wages went down.  

In the passage, it states:

"The Indian coolies and the ex-slaves, who resented the newcomers flooding the colonies and driving down wages, were instant rivals."

In this case, the Indian coolies are the newcomers and the ex-slaves are the ones resenting them. Therefore, the ex-slaves resent the Indian coolies because they were driving down wages.

The correct answer is logical evidence that Indian workers and formerly enslaved people did not get along with one another because wages went down.

The excerpt itself describes how the ex-slaves were resented the Indian coolies because when they arrived, the wages started to go down. This situation was not convenient for neither the ex-slaves nor the Indian coolies. They became rivals.

2. Write an introduction paragraph to prepare students for reading the Declaration of
timurjin [86]

Explanation:

The Declaration of Independence was drafted as a deductive argument as to why the United

States can and should be a country independent of Great Britain. Thomas Jefferson drafted the

declaration with a series of premises leading to four different conclusions. One being that king

George was tyrant. Two, being that the colonies had a right to be free and independent states.

Three, being that all potical connections between Britain and the colonies should be dissolved.

And lastly four, stating that the “united states” had the right to do all things that free nations do.

These four conclusions then served as premises for the final conclusion that the United States

was now an independent country.

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people (1) to dissolve the

political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of

the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God (2)

entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the

causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men (3) are created equal, that they are

endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and

the pursuit of Happiness . (4)
