The text evidence that best supports the authors' claim and purpose is:

"And indeed, it was when the enslaved Africans began to speak—in words and in actions—when Europeans began to see them as human, that the Age of Sugar also became the Age of Freedom."

This evidence supports the authors' claim that the history of sugar is interconnected with the history of slavery and the struggle for freedom. The authors' purpose appears to be to demonstrate the significant impact that enslaved Africans had on shaping the sugar industry and their resilience in the face of oppression.
