Question

read the passage from sugar changed the world. the leaders of the american revolution kept close watch as the former slaves fought for their freedom in haiti. but that fight split the founding fathers—who had their own conflicts about how to deal with slavery in the new united states. when john adams was president, he sent guns and supplies to toussaint to help in the struggle against the french. thomas jefferson, though, was terrified by the success of the haitian revolution. when thomas jefferson succeeded adams, he saw haiti only as a threat. he expected ex - slaves from the island to spread into america, preaching freedom and rebellion to the slaves. \unless something is done,\ he warned, \and soon done, we shall be the murderers of our own children... the revolutionary storm now sweeping the globe will be upon us.\ so he refused to recognize haiti—americas only sister republic. in fact. in this passage, how do the authors use historical details to support the claim that us political leaders positions on slavery impacted the relations between the united states and haiti? select three options. by explaining that the founding fathers held the same beliefs about the rebellions in haiti by quoting thomas jeffersons views on the dangers of enslaved haitians rebelling by describing john adamss actions to support haiti in its fight against the french by revealing the founding fathers views that haiti was americas only sister republic by illustrating thomas jeffersons view that the haitian rebellion could lead to a rebellion of the enslaved in america

Explanation:

• The passage shows that John Adams supported Haiti (by describing his actions of sending guns and supplies), Thomas Jefferson had views on the dangers of enslaved Haitians rebelling (quoting his words about the threat) and also his view that the Haitian rebellion could lead to a rebellion of the enslaved in America (illustrating his concern about the spread of rebellion).
• The first option is incorrect as the Founding Fathers (like Adams and Jefferson) had different beliefs. The fourth option is incorrect as the text focuses more on their actions and views regarding slavery and the impact on US - Haiti relations rather than just stating it was the only sister republic in a way that directly shows the impact of their slavery positions.

Answer:

by quoting Thomas Jefferson's views on the dangers of enslaved Haitians rebelling, by describing John Adams's actions to support Haiti in its fight against the French, by illustrating Thomas Jefferson's view that the Haitian rebellion could lead to a rebellion of the enslaved in America
