The correct answer here is to build tension in the story.

Creating tension can be really tricky and authors use a number of techniques in order create tension in their works and grip the readers from beginning to the end. One of the ways to achieve that is the sequence of events. And here in order to build the tension the author uses the sequence of events. The tension is higher now as we jump back into the war.

How did congressional neutrality towards slavery in the federal territories actually stir up sectional strife

dusya [7]

Answer:

The neutrality of the congress generated polarization in the country. This polarization caused states where slavery was prohibited to criticize and devalue states where slavery was allowed, which retaliated against devaluation with further devaluation.

Explanation:

When Congress decided to stay neutral in relation to slavery in the country, Congressmen believed that this would generate peace in the country, as each state would have autonomy to decide whether it wanted to use slaves or not.

However, the result could not have been more different. Neutrality generated polarization and many conflicts between countries that allowed slaves and prohibited slaves. Countries that did not allow slavery criticized, devalued and tried to interfere with the autonomy of the states that allowed slavery. The slaves who allowed slavery did not tolerate this interference and retaliated as best they could, in addition to promoting a strong devaluation in relation to free countries.

Correct answer: C) seclusionist

Details:

Writing for Ranker, Danielle Ownbey notes: "The Amish live a secluded life away from other Americans (known to them as the English). Because of this seclusion, the average person knows very few facts about the inner workings of the Amish religion and culture."

Your question mentioned the role of the Supreme Court in protecting the rights of the Amish to follow their own beliefs and practices. An example would be the case, Wisconsin v. Jonas Yoder (1972), in which the decision of the Supreme Court was that a state could not compel education past 8th grade for Amish children. The case revolved around some Amish families who would not send their children to New Glarus High School in Wisconsin. County court held the parents responsible (represented by Jonas Yoder, one of the Amish fathers). However, the Wisconsin Supreme Court and then the US Supreme Court found in favor of Yoder and the Amish families. The parents' right to freedom of religion was seen as a stronger concern than the state's interest in educating children. An interesting fact about the Wisconsin v. Yoder case is that the Amish typically would not go to court to settle a dispute, because that would be a move beyond what their religious beliefs would allow. But a Lutheran minister named William Lindholm took up their cause for the sake of protecting religious freedom as a primary right. Lindholm established the National Committee for Amish Religious Freedom.
