What is the correct order of ideas from earliest to latest?

In 1786 the American inventor John Fitch began operating a steamship on the Delaware River, but his venture failed financially and it wasn't for several years that another American, Robert Fulton, launched the first successful steamship, the Clermont, running between Albany and New York. Between these two nautical milestones a Cornish inventor, Richard Trevithick, built a steam locomotive that pulled a coal train, but it was too expensive to operate and not commercially successful. The first commercially successful locomotive was built by George Stephenson before a ship called the Royal William crossed the ocean for the first time entirely by steam, but after the Clermont was already operating. Steam-propelled vehicles can be traced back to Fernand Verbiest, who built a toy cart with a steam turbine. And about 100 years later, but still before Fitch's steamship, a French inventor, Nicholas Cugnot, ran a steam locomotive on the road.

ead the passage from Sugar Changed the World.

You could date a great change in the world to a visit one Madame Villeneuve made to France in 1714. That year, Pauline, an enslaved woman from the Caribbean, arrived in France as the personal servant of her mistress. When Madame Villeneuve set off from the coast to visit Paris, she left Pauline in a convent. The young woman spent her time studying with the nuns and went so far in her training that she asked to become a nun herself and remain in the convent. The nuns agreed, which enraged Madame Villeneuve. She rushed to a judge, demanding to have her property back. Was Pauline a free woman, a bride of Christ, or an item to be bought, sold, and warehoused when she was not in use?

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.

Slave owners fought back, arguing that owners should be able to list their slaves as property when they arrived in France and take them with them when they left. Though most parts of France agreed to this, law­makers in Paris hesitated. Pierre Lemerre the Younger made the case for the slaves. "All men are equal," he insisted in 1716—exactly sixty years before the Declaration of Independence.

To say that "all men are equal" in 1716, when slavery was flourishing in every corner of the world and most eastern Europeans themselves were farmers who could be sold along with the land they worked, was like announcing that there was a new sun in the sky. In the Age of Sugar, when slavery was more brutal than ever before, the idea that all humans are equal began to spread—toppling kings, overturning governments, transforming the entire world.

How do the details in the passage support the central idea?

They compare the end of slavery in the French colonies with the end of slavery in other colonies.
They provide details about the final few years of slavery in Europe and its many colonies.
They provide examples of how laws and attitudes about equality changed in France.
They explain why enslaved people entered convents in an attempt to gain their freedom.
