B
Only african slaves knew how to grow sugarcane
C
African slaves were needed to work on sugarcane plantations
D
Sugarcane was the main currency used in the Atlantic slave trade
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Europeans enjoyed their sugar and were causing the inhumane Atlantic slave trade. The conditions for enslaved people on sugar plantations in the Caribbean were especially brutal. Driven by profits, plantations owners saw enslaved labor as a less expensive way to produce sugar.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sugarcane agriculture was introduced in Kenya at Kibos in the early 1900s by Indian settlers who used it to manufacture jaggery. Before independence, the sugar industry in Kenya was dominated by the private entrepreneurs.

Detailed explanation-3: -The settlements required a large number of laborers to sustain them. Because these crops required large areas of land, the plantations grew in size, and in turn, more labor was required to work on the plantations. Plantation labor shifted away from indentured servitude and more toward slavery by the late 1600s.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sugar was the connection, the tie, between slavery and freedom. In order to create sugar, Europeans and colonists in the Americas destroyed Africans, turned them into objects. Just at that very same moment, Europeans-at home and across the Atlantic-decided that they could no longer stand being objects themselves.
