Read the two passages from Sugar Changed the World
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."
Slave labor was valuable because it produced cheap
sugar that everyone wanted to buy. But if people
stopped buying that sugar, the whole slave system
Which claim do both passages support?
Abolitionists used powerful speeches and
presentations to engage people and persuade them
to join the abolitionists' cause.
O People objected to the cruelty of involuntary
servitude, but King George III had economic
reasons for ending the trading of enslaved people.
Most people in England did not care whether
thousands of enslaved people suffered as long as
sugar remained plentiful.
The abolitionists' tremendous efforts showed that
making moral arguments to support political
movements were not successful.

What to the slave is the fourth of july? by frederick douglass fellow-citizens—pardon me, and allow me to ask, why am i called upon to speak here to-day? what have i, or those i represent, to do with your national independence? are the great principles of political freedom and of natural justice, embodied in that declaration of independence, extended to us? and am i, therefore, called upon to bring our humble offering to the national altar, and to confess the benefits, and express devout gratitude for the blessings, resulting from your independence to us? but, such is not the state of the case. i say it with a sad sense of the disparity between us. i am not included within the pale of this glorious anniversary! your high independence only reveals the immeasurable distance between us. the blessings in which you this day rejoice, are not enjoyed in common. the rich inheritance of justice, liberty, prosperity, and independence, bequeathed by your fathers, is shared by you, not by me. the sunlight that brought life and healing to you, has brought stripes and death to me. this fourth of july is yours, not mine. you may rejoice, i must mourn. to drag a man in fetters into the grand illuminated temple of liberty, and call upon him to join you in joyous anthems, were inhuman mockery and sacrilegious irony. do you mean, citizens, to mock me, by asking me to speak to-day? fellow-citizens, above your national, tumultuous joy, i hear the mournful wail of millions, whose chains, heavy and grievous yesterday, are to-day rendered more intolerable by the jubilant shouts that reach them. if i do forget, if i do not faithfully remember those bleeding children of sorrow this day, "may my right hand forget her cunning, and may my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth! " to forget them, to pass lightly over their wrongs, and to chime in with the popular theme, would be treason most scandalous and shocking, and would make me a reproach before god and the world. my subject, then, fellow-citizens, is american slavery. i shall see this day and its popular characteristics from the slave's point of view. standing there, identified with the american bondman, making his wrongs mine, i do not hesitate to declare, with all my soul, that the character and conduct of this nation never looked blacker to me than on this fourth of july. whether we turn to the declarations of the past, or to the professions of the present, the conduct of the nation seems equally hideous and revolting. what is one of the lessons douglass impresses on his listeners? a) the nation should not rejoice until everyone has freedom. b) he must speak on the fourth of july in order to bring change. c) for him to join the celebration would be treason. d) he can see the perspective of slaves and citizens with equal clarity.
