The 1948 United States Presidential Election is considered apart from being one of the biggest electoral upsets in American history, the start of an era of great economic prosperity and growth of the United States as a superpower in the land of politics.  

After winning the election then President elect Harry S. Truman implemented and oversaw various policies in order to contain and stop the influence of communism around the world which culminated in the entry of the United States in the Korean war.

During this time period President Truman also oversaw the approval of NSC 68, a secret statement of foreign policy. Which sought to increase the defense budget and in turn increase the military prowess of the US and weaken the Soviet Union's influence as much as possible.

The results of the 1948 Presidential Elections also influenced the reform of civil rights in the US, more specifically voting rights and fair employment rights, these reforms also had a key role in ending racial segregation in the armed forces.

Answer:

C) Westward expansion and the issue of whether slavery would be allowed in the new territories.

Explanation:

There were many social, political and cultural differences between north and the south which led to the civil war.  During 1800s the economy of northern states was more industrialised as compared to the south.  The farming was the backbone of the southern economy,  and it was based on the slave lobar.

The northers believed that slavery was evil and must be abolished.  Some of the well known abolitionists were John Brown, Fredrick Douglass and Harriet Tubman. they all tried to convince people about the abolition of slavery. The southern states were afraid of it, because abolition of slavery would have affected their way of life.

Another major issue was the expansion of US toward west.As the new territories in the east were being added to US, it was shifting the power between north and south. Each new state was a battle ground for them. The southern states were afraid the they would loose their rights.

Leni [432]
The answer is that early on the English were looking for a "Northwest Passage". This would be a shorter trade route to East Asia. For a long time it was believed that there was a large body of water in North America that would lead to the Orient. The English were interested in the raw materials that they could find in North America, including the islands of the Caribbean.
