Though the United States, Britain, Spain and other European powers had abolished the importation of slaves by that time, the transatlantic slave trade continued illegally, and Havana was an important slave trading hub.

The Spanish plantation owners Pedro Montes and Jose Ruiz purchased 53 of the African captives as slaves, including 49 adult males and four children, three of them girls. On June 28, Montes and Ruiz and the 53 Africans set sail from Havana on the Amistad (Spanish for “friendship”) for Puerto Principe (nCharged with murder and piracy, Cinque and the other Africans of the Amistad were imprisoned in New Haven.

Which of the following conclusions is supported by the ideas F. W. Evans outlined in his description of the Shakers?
IgorC [24]

The correct answer is A. According to the passage, F.W. Evans stated that the Society now had "a very different attitude", and implied that - as a consequence of the previous opposition and persecution of groups with different beliefs carried out by the Society - the ignorant or willful misconceptions of the Society were being corrected, this is evidenced by the fact that he accepted that they had misjudged Ann Lee as a witch, and that they Shakers did not necessarily think of her as a superior entity nor did they worship her.
