Sweet Nexus, Sugar and The Origins of the Modern World

A long time ago, when the Americas were being brutally taken over by Christopher Columbus, sugar was a really big deal. Europeans didn't have much sugar because it takes a lot of hard work to produce it. Because Europeans didn't really produce sugar, Americans saw it as a way to make profit. Black people became slaves to white people and were forced to do the job that they did not want to. This frustrates me because of the treatment that the slaves endured. Also, the fact that people were well aware of what was occurring and yet did nothing to try to put an end to it is just really sad. Slavery in America is another check on the list of mistakes that we have made.
