The correct answer is: “information on weather conditions in Louisiana and the Caribbean”. Taken from the book “<em>Sugar Changed the World: A Story of Magic, Spice, Slavery, Freedom, and Science</em>” by Marc Aronson and Marina Budhos (2010), the details included about the weather conditions in Louisiana and the Caribbean are used to support the claim that “<u>sugar was a killer</u>”. As the text tells, <em>sugar was a killer</em> because of the cold snaps in Louisiana. The authors narrate the details that explain the claim (sugar was a killer). For instance, they narrate that the slaves needed to harvest the cane in perfect rhythm with the grinding mills, and that the entire crop had to be cut down between mid-October and December, and that people needed to work faster than the weather and to keep pace with machines.
