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 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—america's only sister republic. in fact, it was not until 1862 that abraham lincoln, about to issue the emancipation proclamation, finally established relations with haiti.
americans like jefferson were proud of having fought for their freedom. but as long as they could still see africans as property, they could not treat haitians as equally brave and courageous human beings. for if haitians could claim their freedom and be recognized by america, why couldn't slaves within the united states do the same thing?
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 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 revealing the founding fathers’ views that haiti was america’s only sister republic
by illustrating thomas jefferson’s view that the haitian rebellion could lead to a rebellion of the enslaved in america

Select the contred text in the passage which sentence in this excerpt from john galsworthy's narrative essay "gone" reflects his view that there is no afterlife? an old woman and mrs. herd's sister were in the sitting-room, they showed us to the crazy, narrow stairway. though we lived distant but four hundred yards of a crows flight, we had never seen mrs. herd before, for that is the way of things in this land of minding one's own business a slight dark girlish-looking woman, almost quite refined away, and with those eyes of the dying, where the spirit is coming through, as it only does when it knows that al is over except just the passing. she lay in a double bed with clean white sheets. a white-washed room, so low that the ceiling almost touched our heads, some flowers in a bow, the small lattice window open. though it was hot in there, it was better far than the rooms of most families in towns, living on a wage of twice as much, for here was no sign of defeat in decency or cleanliness. in her face, as in poor herd's, was that same strange minging of resigned despair and almost eager appeal, so terrible to disappoint. yet, trying not to disappoint it, one felt guilty of treachery: what was the good, the kindness in making this poor bird flutter still with hope against the bars, when fast prison had so surely closed in round her? but what else could we do? we could not give her those glib assurances that naive souls make so easily to others concerning their after state. and the night was so beautiful, so utterly glamourously beautiful, with its star-flowers, and its silence and its trees clothed in moonlight. all was tranquil as a dream of sleep. but it was long before our hearts wandering with poor herd, would let us remember that she had slipped away into so beautiful a dream
