Ellen Betts, who grew up as a slave on a sugar plantation in Louisiana, recalled that they worked “hour in, hour out, them sugarcane fields sure stretch from one end of the earth to the other.” Ceceil George remembered that she “come up in hard times—slavery times. Every body worked, young, an ole’, if yo’ could carry two or three sugarcane yo’ worked. Sunday, Monday, it all de same . . . it like a heathen part o’ de country.” She meant that in other states slaves got Sunday off to worship God. Not in Louisiana. There, sugar was god, and work was the only religion. –from Sugar Changed the World, by Marc Aronson and Marina Budhos Which statement best summarizes the main idea of the passage objectively? Louisiana was the worst and most difficult place in the South to be a slave. Louisiana was a heathen place and only work and sugar were worshiped. Enslaved people on sugar plantations often worked long hours every day of the week. Enslaved people in Louisiana were not allowed to worship or be religious.
