Question

read the passage from sugar changed the world. with their victory, the 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, free, all de same; black, white, brown, all de same; all de same. one, two, free, all de same! that chant did more than threaten a slave revolt—it 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:

• Option 2: The song is a primary source. It shows the idea of equality spreading as slaves in Jamaica were singing it, which supports the claim about the impact of the idea from Saint - Domingue.
• Option 3: The statement about the conflict between freedom and property being over (from Saint - Domingue) and its terrifying effect on the English (as a secondary view) shows that the idea of an enslaved people's revolt (from the situation in Saint - Domingue) was groundbreaking.

Answer:

B. They use a primary source to show that a song was spreading the idea of equality across the Caribbean.
C. They use a secondary source to show that the idea of an enslaved people's revolt was groundbreaking.
