Question

which line from the passage best provides evidence to support the claim that sugar was more of "a killer" in louisiana than in the caribbean? "in every single american slave state, the population of enslaved people kept rising. . . ." ". . . enough enslaved children were born, lived, and grew to become adults." "not only did the slave states need to harvest the cane in perfect rhythm with the grinding mills. . . ." "people needed to work faster than the weather. . . ."

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option D "People needed to work faster than the weather. . . ."

Explanation:

The text refers to sugar as "a killer" in Louisiana as they did not have the hot weather as in the Caribbean to harvest.

Then, slaves had to increase their production and beat the weather because otherwise the crop would be completely ruined.

For this reason, the work of slaves in Louisiana was much more exhaustive than in the Caribbean.
