Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.

Twenty-three years earlier, King Louis XIV had issued a set of rules that defined slavery as legal in the French sugar islands. But when two slaves managed to reach France, he freed them—saying they became free "as soon as they [touched] the soil" of France. The judges sided with Pauline—she was real to them, human, not a piece of property. For Pauline's judges, as for King Louis, slavery far off across the seas was completely different from enslaved individuals in France.

Which words best create a positive, hopeful tone?

free, real, and human
legal, rules, and judges
King, individuals, and property
islands, soil, and seas
