Wiesner, “Sweet Nexus: Sugar and the Origins of the Modern World”

It made me angry reading the words "Black labor, white sugar". Once again, this became another reason for the whites to show and prove why slavery is the right thing. Sugar to the African-American laborers was not only another excuse for segregation but now another reason to survive. If the black laborers were not present in trading and working to receive and give sugar as part of their jobs, it would not have spread as fast or even at all. We should be thanking them for the hard work they did.
