Question

from sugar changed the world. with these words, people of saint domingue announced that the conflict between freedom and property was over. “all men are equal” meant that no men are property. this idea terrified the english—and not merely because their sugar island of jamaica was just over a hundred miles across the water from saint domingue. indeed, slaves in jamaica were beginning to sing a new song while they worked: one, two, tree, all de same; black, white, brown, all de same; all de same. one, two, tree, all de same! how do the authors use historical evidence to support their claim? select two options. they use a secondary source to show that the british secretary of war opposed involuntary servitude. they use a primary source to show that a song was spreading the idea of equality across the caribbean. they use a secondary source to show that the idea of an enslaved people’s revolt was groundbreaking. they use a statistic to show that england had enough voters to end slavery and establish equality. they use a primary source to show that some white people opposed the idea of freeing enslaved people.

Explanation:

A primary source is an original source from the time - period being studied. A song sung by slaves is a primary source that spreads the idea of equality. Also, a secondary source is an interpretation or analysis of primary sources. The claim about the British secretary of war opposing involuntary servitude is from a secondary source. There is no statistic given about voters in the passage, and no primary source about white people opposing freeing enslaved people. The idea of an enslaved people's revolt being groundbreaking is not shown using a secondary source in the given text.

Answer:

They use a secondary source to show that the British secretary of war opposed involuntary servitude.
They use a primary source to show that a song was spreading the idea of equality across the Caribbean.
