Explanation:
The author's main idea is the fact that sugar, even though it had caused all the atrocities it had caused, changed people's impressions of slavery.
All this was due to the fact that with the Age of Sugar, slavery became brutal as ever. And people were noticing it. Lemerre Younger was the first one to protest, declaring <em>equal rights for all</em>. And it -
<em>began to spread — toppling kings, overturning governments, transforming the entire world</em>.

By helping people understand and see the reality of the slave trade, they started a revolution in people's opinion. One was no longer indifferent after <em>Clarkson's speeches and the testimonials he published</em>. The people rose against the torture.
