Riding a Bicycle
It was a bright Sunday morning when Belle woke up with the biggest smile on her face. She had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
Her father was going to teach her to ride a bicycle. She dressed quickly and gulped down her breakfast.
After breakfast, Belle's father showed her the different parts of a bike. Then he said he would hold onto the back of the bike while she peddled.
But Belle's excitement got the better of her. She said she wanted to try riding by herself. Her father let go. Belle quickly lost her balance and
crashed to the ground. The fall dazed her. She grumpily agreed to let her father keep holding the bike while she rode.
Every once in a while, he would let go. The moment he did, Belle would lose her balance and topple over. Her father explained that this was
perfectly normal. He said that all first-time riders fall. Even so, Belle's mood darkened with each fall. After a while, she wanted to give up and
return home
Belle's father tried to talk her out of quitting. He pointed toward some other children biking nearby. He showed her how happy they looked as
they rode their bicycles. He told her she needed to keep trying. With a little more effort, she would soon enjoy riding just like the other children.
His words gave Belle the determination to keep going.
After several more failed tries, Belle finally got the hang of it. She began gently peddling by herself, beaming with pride. She had finally done it!
That night, she went to bed with a couple of bruises and cuts. But she had an even bigger smile on her face than she'd had in the morning, she
would forever remember this day and the lesson she learned about never quitting.

In just over one hundred years, between 1701 and 1810, 252,500 enslaved africans were brought to barbados—an island that occupies only 166 square miles (making it, today, one of the smallest countries in the world). the english then set out to conquer more sugar islands, starting with jamaica, which they took from spain in 1655. in the same period that the 252,500 africans were brought to barbados, 662,400 africans were taken to jamaica. thus, sugar drove more than 900,000 people into slavery, across the atlantic, to barbados and jamaica—and these were just two of the sugar islands. the english were eagerly filling antigua, nevis, saint kitts, and montserrat with slaves and sugar mills. they took over much of dutch guiana for the same reason. seeing the fortunes being made in sugar, the french started their own scramble to turn the half of the island of hispaniola that they controlled (which is now haiti), as well as martinique, guadeloupe, and french guiana (along the south american coast near dutch guiana), into their own sugar colonies, which were filled with hundreds of thousands more african slaves. by 1753, british ships were taking average of 34,250 slaves from africa every year, and by 1768, that number had reached 53,100. –sugar changed the world, marc aronson and marina budhos how do the authors use historical evidence to support their claim? x(a) they use secondary sources to show how french and english monarchs were indifferent to enslaved people. x(b)they use secondary sources to show that enslaved people often fought for their freedom after arriving in the caribbean. the answer is: (c)they use facts from primary sources to show how countries increased the number of enslaved people to produce more sugar. x(d)they use primary source interviews to show that countries could make more money in trading sugar without using enslaved people.
