Answer:
‘Both passages use evidence to show that knowledge of the extreme brutality of the sugar trade changed viewpoints about enslavement’.
<em>Explanation:
</em>
According to the author, <em>sugar trade had caused a lot of mayhem</em>, but it had also played a big role in changing people’s viewpoints about slavery.
As seen in the first passage, ‘Pierre Lemerre’ stands up for the slaves, <em>declaring that all men are equal.</em> As the knowledge and the idea of this statement reaches the masses, that is when <em>the kings started to topple and the governments overturned.
</em>
Similarly, in the second passage, when people finally understood the<em> terrors faced by the slaves</em>, while in <em>Sugar Trade, they made attempts to abolish it.</em> Thus, the knowledge of the things endured by <em>the slaves changed people’s ideologies regarding slavery.
