Read the two passages from sugar changed the world. slave owners fought back, arguing that owners should be able to list their slaves as property when they arrived in france and take them with them when they left. though most parts of france agreed to this, law­makers in paris hesitated. pierre lemerre the younger made the case for the slaves. "all men are equal," he insisted in 1716—exactly sixty years before the declaration of independence. to say that "all men are equal" in 1716, when slavery was flourishing in every corner of the world and most eastern europeans themselves were farmers who could be sold along with the land they worked, was like announcing that there was a new sun in the sky. in the age of sugar, when slavery was more brutal than ever before, the idea that all humans are equal began to spread—toppling kings, overturning governments, transforming the entire world. sugar was the connection, the tie, between slavery and freedom. clarkson and others who believed as he did, who in the coming decades would be called abolitionists, realized that while that link gave the english a stake in slavery, it also gave the antislavery forces an opportunity. if they could reverse the flow—make the horrors of slavery visible to those who benefited from it—they might be able to end the vile practice forever. the abolitionists were brilliant. they created the most effective public relations campaign in history, inventing techniques that we use to this day. when he spoke, clarkson brandished whips and handcuffs used on slaves; he published testimonials from sailors and ship doctors who described the atrocities and punishments on slave ships. when olaudah equiano published his memoir, he educated his readers about the horrors of the slave trade. and then, when the english began to understand what slavery really was, clarkson and others organized what we would call a boycott of "the blood-sweetened beverage." which statement best explains how the authors develop their claim across the two passages? both passages use evidence to develop the claim that the general public needed to know about the terrors of involuntary servitude. both passages use evidence to develop the claim that eastern european farmers and enslaved people on sugar plantations shared a common goal. both passages use evidence to show that knowledge of the extreme brutality of the sugar trade changed viewpoints about enslavement. both passages use evidence to support the claim that lawmakers had more power and influence than abolitionists had.

()activityconstruct an argument about a topic, theme, or idea that you read about in william shakespeare's romeo and juliet, act ii or act iii. make sure you create a central claim for your argument that is debatable. provide textual evidence from the play to support your argument. my analysis juliet shows maturity by putting their needs before hers. after juliet has arranged her 'death' with friar lawrence, she is an emotionally awoken woman who will do anything to be with the one she loves. "and i will do it without fear or doubt, to live an unstained wife to my sweet love". juliet faces her fears and trusts in god and friar lawrence. she is forced to use trickery in order to stay true to dear romeo. this showed remarkable courage. before she takes the potion she uses a soliloquy that confronts all her fears. she speaks in blank verse showing the seriousness of the situation. when juliet awakes to see a lifeless romeo lying beside her, juliet's maturity and loyalty takes over and she takes the decision to choose eternity over the present. the quotation "then i'll be brief. o happy dagger! this is my sheath; there rust, and let me die." shows the quickness and determination of juliet's death. during the period of a few days juliet matures into a committed and reliable woman and wife, capable of taking decisions without the of others. shakespeare shows this by clearly stating the different stages that happen and by making everything occur in a short period of time. part cwrite a 300-word essay arguing the thesis of your analysis.
