Correct answer is Sugar was such a powerful economic force that it led to significant political changes.
Explanation:
At first, it is stated that there were so many sugar plantations that Haiti was world center of sugar. Therefore, many slaves were enslaved and forced to work on plantations. At one point, the slaves decided to make an uprising and to burn all the sugar canes, which actually disturbed the global economy, primarily Napoleon who wanted to make profit of the sugar and pay all his war debts. He used this island to acquire money by selling it further to Jefferson.
The two passages from Sugar Changed the World:
"By the late 1700s, Saint Domingue (what is now Haiti) was the world center of sugar. So many sugar plantations dotted the landscape that slaves called commanders managed other slaves. On the night of August 14, 1791, commanders from the richest sugar plantations in Saint Domingue gathered in a place called Alligator Woods and swore a solemn oath. They would rise up against their white owners, "and listen to the voice of liberty which speaks in the hearts of all of us." That voice told them to destroy everything related to sugar. Sugar made the Africans slaves, so sugar must be wiped off the island, now a vast sugar factory to the world. By the end of August, the French colony was in flames. So many cane fields were on fire that the air was filled with "a rain of fire composed of burning bits of cane-straw which whirled like thick snow." Smashing mills, destroying warehouses, setting fields on fire, the freedom fighters demolished some one thousand plantations—and that was just in the first two months of their revolution. The fight against sugar and chains soon had a leader, Toussaint, who called himself "L’Ouverture”—the opening. Toussaint was making a space, an opening, for people to be free. When the Haitians defeated the French armies, Napoleon lost control of the world's most productive sugar islands and with it his dream of great sugar profits. As a result, Napoleon had no use for the land in North America he had so recently obtained from Spain. Napoleon did, though, need money to pay for his wars. That is why he sold the vast Louisiana Territory to Jefferson for the bargain price of just fifteen million dollars. What textbooks call the Louisiana Purchase should really be named the Sugar Purchase. Americans obtained the middle part of what would become their nation because the Haitians achieved their freedom."

My last vacation, which took place in the summer of 2019, I decided to travel with my family to the state of Florida to visit the Disney and Universal theme parks, and later the beaches of Miami Beach.
The trip began in Orlando, where we visited the Magic Kingdom, Disney's Hollywood Studios, Epcot and Animal Kingdom parks, belonging to Walt Disney World; and then the parks of Universal Studios and Universal Islands of Adventure. In all these places, we haf great days of fun and adventure, enjoying new attractions and the magic that these places offer to those who visit them.
Finally, after 8 days in Orlando, and after visiting some shopping malls and the city center with its imposing Lake Eola, we headed towards South Florida. After 4 hours by car, we reached the imposing city of Miami, where we could see the American Airlines Arena and Bayfront Park as soon as we arrived. There we spent 7 days of relaxation, enjoying the beaches of South Beach and strolling on Ocean Drive at night.
