The book Sugar Changed the World gives the reader a very informational tone throughout the events occurring in the story. The author's perspective and purpose for writing Sugar Changed the World is to tell a story of how sugar impacted the world negatively and positively,and they respond to conflicting viewpoints by addressing the facts and proving the historians wrong. The writer informs the reader about the positive impact of sugar and how it changed the world because in the book it said "The end of slavery was a great step for human rights”. “On August 1, 1838 all slaves would be free” (pg 104).
However, this informs the reader about the positive impact of sugar. “Sugar is a taste we all want a taste we all crave” pg 8. This shows the positive outcome of the making of sugar and how it doesn’t just have a bad impact on the world. The book “Sugar Changed the World” gives an information tone about how sugar changed the world drastically and how it became popular and the whole world made a profit from it. “Europeans saw growing sugar in the New World with slave
In the book ‘’Sugar Changed The World’’ by Marc Aronson and Marina Budhos their purpose for writing the book was to show how sugar changed the world positively and negatively. Here are some of the positive effects that sugar had on the world, on page 29 where it says,’’One sailor came ro knew these islands particularly well because he traded in ‘’White Gold”-sugar’’. This evidence shows that as sugar spread across the world it was better known as ‘’White Gold’’because if you could buy sugar you were considered rich. Sugar also changed the world positively because on page 6 it says,’’It is a story of the movement of millions of people, of fortunes moved and lost, of brutality and delight. ’’This was positive and negative because they were taken
Eli Whitney’s invention helped give slavery a new life in the 1700s and 1800s (11). Eli Whitney was a mechanical engineer, who was the first to invent the cotton gin. The cotton gin is a machine that quickly and efficiently separates cotton fibers from their seeds (2). His machine moves like brush like teeth through the raw cotton, which makes the hard task go by faster. The cotton gin grew to produce a thousand pounds of cotton a day in the 18th century (11).

Slaves cut down all stalks of sugar which was one of the hardest jobs on the plantation (Document 8A). Since there was so much work to do on a plantation a 500 acre plantation could have a minimum of 300 slaves working long painful days (Document 6A). Slaves were put through tons of work and since they were slaves they were not paid and the only people that were paid were overseers (Document 7A). Slaves were highly common on plantations and did the hardest and the majority of the jobs
Dariana Hernandez 2/11/23 Culminating writing task Do you ever wonder how sugar impacted the world? Well In the book “Sugar Changed the World” By Marina Budhos and Marc Aronson, the authors show us and tell us by showing us illustrations, explaining everything and even the language that they used to describe how it was for the people working in the sugar cane fields and the purpose for writing the book “Sugar Changed the World” is to show how sugar impacted the world in a positive and negative way. Starting off with the illustrations that the authors give us, in those illustrations we can see how the slaves were treated and how hard they had to work in the fields and that helps the reader understand much more and be able to view what the authors are talking about not just read about it. In the book “Sugar Changed the World” on page 28, there is a picture, and that picture shows how the people worked hard in those fields; they even said that they worked under the “hot sun”. This evidence relates to the claim because whether the
The slaves’ men had to do manual labor in the sugar plantation throughout the day and guarding the same at night. They had no rights of getting an education since their masters presumed that doing so will enlighten them. The slaves were denied the fundamental principle of life such as education, the right of having a family. For instance, Stuart was the only black student in the
Slaves played a huge role in the early American colonies because “communities were designed around slavery”. Slaves were commonly seen and worked throughout all colonies but were heavily used in the South. The Southern slaves were “forced to work under harsh conditions for long hours”. The majority of the men worked on plantations doing manual labor and the often times women were house servants. Their punishments could included being beaten, starved, tortured and or killed.
The Antebellum South slaves and the Camp 14 prisoners both had to do hard work. The prisoners would have to cut trees and gather wood. Also, they had to work in factories. For example, Shin was gathering would before him and his friend tried to escape but only Shin made it out alive. The slaves had to do field work and housework.
In document three it reads,”The increased consumption of sugar, and increasing demand for it, exceed all comparison with any other article, used as an auxiliary, in food: for, such is the influence of sugar, that once touching the nerves of taste no person was ever known to have the power of relinquishing the desire for it.” There was no person that could give up their sugar, it was an addiction. This is one reason why different countries wanted sugar because everyone wanted it.
Slaves endured an extreme amount of physical abuse. Some were whipped daily while others were starved. Slaves don't get to eat much each day. They were given a food allowance once a month. Some days they might not eat at all because they made their owners mad or they were being punished for doing something wrong.
Slave men usually worked out in the field doing hard work. Every slave was none-stop doing something till sun up to sundown. Working environments were way harsh on slaves. They would work in the fields no matter what weather they had. They would work days and nights in the fields.
With the increasingly high market demand for these popular goods, slaveholders bought more slaves to produce more goods faster. Working on the larger plantations, slaves mostly endured long harsh days of intense labor. It was also common at plantations with more than fifty slaves to have a sexual division of labor between men and women assigning slaves traditionally gendered jobs. On plantations male slaves worked as carpenters, blacksmiths, coopers, and boilers. Slave women were put to the task of sewing, weaving, spinning, cooking, and cleaning.
Some prisoners, were even worked to death because they worked all day in unsafe conditions. When there was a large work force needed, authorities would arrest large numbers of people to work. Since the prisoners weren’t looked as property they were treated worse than the slaves had been treated, making it worse than
