Question
read the passage from sugar changed the world. 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 dropping. sugar was a killer. unlike the caribbean, louisiana has cold snaps. that put an additional pressure on the sugar harvest. not only did the slaves need to harvest the cane in perfect rhythm with the grinding mills, but the entire crop had to be cut down between mid - october and december. this pace only increased when growers installed improved, steam - powered mills. people needed to work faster than the weather and to keep pace with machines. which line from the passage best provides evidence to support the claim that sugar was more of \a killer\ in louisiana than in the caribbean? \in every single american slave state, the population of enslaved people kept rising....\ \... enough enslaved children were born, lived, and grew to become adults.\
ot only did the slave states need to harvest the cane in perfect rhythm with the grinding mills....\ \people needed to work faster than the weather....\
To find the line supporting that sugar was more of a "killer" in Louisiana than the Caribbean, we analyze each option:
- The first option talks about enslaved population rising in American slave states (including Louisiana? No, Louisiana is an exception), so it doesn't support the claim.
- The second option explains why population rose in other states, not why Louisiana is different.
- The third option mentions harvesting cane in rhythm with mills, but doesn't show Louisiana's harshness compared to Caribbean.
- The fourth option: Louisiana has cold snaps (unlike Caribbean) adding pressure. Workers had to work faster than weather and machines, implying harsher conditions (more deadly) in Louisiana due to sugar harvest demands. This shows sugar was more of a killer in Louisiana.

D. "People needed to work faster than the weather...." (assuming the last option is D; if options are labeled differently, adjust the label but the text is "People needed to work faster than the weather....")
