Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World. What kind of inference can the reader make about the
importance of sugar in the late nineteenth century?
My great-grandparents had come from India to Guyana
-then British Guiana-in the late nineteenth century to
work on the sugar plantations. Sugar was the backbone
of the British Empire at that time. The demand was huge,
for sugar had gone from being a luxury that only kings
could afford to a necessity. Even the poorest of London
shopgirls took sugar in their tea.
Slavery was abolished in the British Empire in 1833,
thirty years before the Emancipation Proclamation in the
United States. But even after they freed their slaves, the
sugar plantation owners were desperate to find cheap
labor to cut cane and process sugar. So the British
owners looked to another part of the empire—India—and
recruited thousands of men and women, who were given
five-year contracts and a passage back.
O Sugar was central to people's daily lives, work, and
economy.
O Sugar cane plantation owners needed cheap labor
after the enslaved were freed.
O Sugar cane is a labor intensive crop to grow and
harvest.
O Sugar was a necessity enjoyed by the poorest
shopgirls to the richest kings.
