Question

read the passage from sugar changed the world. as sugar planters fled from the revolution in haiti, some moved to cuba’s oriente province, others to north america—to louisiana. by the time the haitian plantation owners and overseers reached new orleans, abolitionists were pressing to end the african slave trade. the tragedy is that this movement to end slavery did nothing to improve conditions in louisiana. in fact, the state that slaves called lousy anna was the very worst place for an african in america; it was the caribbean all over again—a death sentence. in every single american slave state, the population of enslaved people kept rising even after the slave trade was abolished. that was because enough enslaved children were born, lived, and grew to become adults. there was just one exception to this rule: louisiana, where the native - born enslaved population kept... which details do the authors include to support the claim in this passage? select two options. □ information on enslaved populations in different american states □ information on weather conditions in louisiana and the caribbean □ information on how conditions for enslaved people improved in louisiana □ examples of individual planters who fled louisiana for cuba □ examples of why cold snaps made it easier to harvest sugarcane

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option against the passage:

1. Option 1: Information on enslaved populations in different American states

The passage states, “In every single American slave state, the population of enslaved people kept rising... There was just one exception: Louisiana...” This directly provides information about enslaved populations across American states.

1. Option 2: Information on weather conditions in Louisiana and the Caribbean

The passage compares Louisiana to the Caribbean (e.g., “it was the Caribbean all over again—a death sentence”), but there is no specific information about weather conditions. Eliminate.

1. Option 3: Information on how conditions for enslaved people improved in Louisiana

The passage says, “this movement to end slavery did nothing to improve conditions in Louisiana” and calls it “the very worst place”. Conditions did not improve. Eliminate.

1. Option 4: Examples of individual planters who fled Louisiana for Cuba

The passage describes planters fleeing to Louisiana (from Haiti), not fleeing from Louisiana to Cuba. Eliminate.

1. Option 5: Examples of why cold snaps made it easier to harvest sugarcane

The passage does not mention cold snaps or sugarcane harvesting methods. Eliminate.

Answer:

A. information on enslaved populations in different American states
(Note: A second correct option was intended, but based on the passage, only the first option is clearly supported. If a second is required, re - evaluate—possibly a formatting error, but from the given, the strongest is the first.)
