Read the passage and review the image from sugar changed the world. caption: enslaved people working in a sugar plantation (illustration by william clark) my great-grandparents had come from india to guyana—then british guiana—in the late nineteenth century to work on the sugar plantations. sugar was the backbone of the british empire at that time. the demand was huge, for sugar had gone from being a luxury that only kings could afford to a necessity. even the poorest of london shopgirls took sugar in their tea. slavery was abolished in the british empire in 1833, thirty years before the emancipation proclamation in the united states. but even after they freed their slaves, the sugar plantation owners were desperate to find cheap labor to cut cane and process sugar. so the british owners looked to another part of the empire—india—and recruited thousands of men and women, who were given five-year contracts and a passage back. how does the image best support the text? 1. the image shows what a sugar plantation looked like and what brutal work enslaved people endured. 2. the image shows all of the tasks involved in processing sugar cane. 3. the image shows what type of land was needed to grow sugar cane. 4. the image shows where the authors came from and how their families were involved with sugar.
