Read the two passages from Sugar Changed the World.
Slave owners fought back, arguing that owners should
be able to list their slaves as property when they arrived
in France and take them with them when they left.
Though most parts of France agreed to this, law-makers
in Paris hesitated. Pierre Lemerre the Younger made the

Which statement best explains how the authors develop

Both passages use evidence to show that knowledge
of the extreme brutality of the sugar trade changed
viewpoints about enslavement.
Both passages use evidence to support the claim that
lawmakers had more power and influence than
abolitionists had.
