What did the supporters of the Kansas and Nebraska act do
charle [14.2K]

The Kansas–Nebraska Act of 1854  was an organic act that created the territories of Kansas and Nebraska. It was drafted by Democratic Senator Stephen A. Douglas, passed by the 33rd United States Congress, and signed into law by President Franklin Pierce. Douglas introduced the bill with the goal of opening up new lands to development and facilitating construction of a transcontinental railroad, but the Kansas–Nebraska Act is most notable for effectively repealing the Missouri Compromise, stoking national tensions over slavery, and contributing to a series of armed conflicts known as "Bleeding Kansas".

The United States had acquired vast amounts of sparsely-settled land in the 1803 Louisiana Purchase, and since the 1840s Douglas had sought to establish a territorial government in a portion of the Louisiana Purchase that was still unorganized. Douglas's efforts were stymied by Senator David Rice Atchison and other Southern leaders who refused to allow the creation of territories that banned slavery; slavery would have been banned because the Missouri Compromise outlawed slavery in territory north of latitude 36°30' north. To win the support of Southerners like Atchison, Pierce and Douglas agreed to back the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, with the status of slavery instead decided on the basis of "popular sovereignty." Under popular sovereignty, the citizens of each territory, rather than Congress, would determine whether or not slavery would be allowed.

Agriculture arose in North America (and western hemisphere more generally)
mart [117]

Answer:

The agriculture in the western hemisphere developed nearly simultaneously as in Asia/eastern hemisphere.

Explanation:

A is not correct because it was almost at the same time where agriculture started developing in both hemispheres, with the evidence suggesting a difference of only a few hundred years.

B is not correct because the western hemisphere would not have been able to produce any great civilizations if agriculture was not well developed and the basis of the economy.

C is correct because independently, at nearly the same time, the people living in both hemispheres started to plant and rise some of the wild plants that they thought have great potential, thus giving birth to agriculture.

D is not correct because the climate conditions in the western hemisphere at that time would not have allowed people to engage in agriculture, especially not in large scale agriculture and to be able to produce enough food for themselves and have a surplus.
