Answer:

The correct answer is D. Harper's Ferry, Virginia, was significant in the antebellum era because it was the site of a failed slave rebellion in October of 1859.

Explanation:

On October 16, 1859, the radical abolitionist John Brown led an attack on the Harper's Ferry arsenal: he hoped to seize weapons to use it to arm slaves in the south and thus unleash an uprising. Marines under Col. Robert E. Lee's command helped the local militia to overpower Brown and his men. Brown was tried by the state of Virginia for treason, sentenced to death and hanged in nearby Charles Town.

What were the immediate causes of the U.S civil war
Oduvanchick [21]

Political Parties Splinter: The issue of slavery split the Democratic Party in two in 1860.

The Election of 1860: Slavery was the main issue and Lincoln wanted to ban it in all new territories, and since the north had a bigger population than the South Lincoln had the most votes and won.

Southern States secede: Before Lincoln took office, seven states left the Union. The Confederate States of America chose Jefferson Davis as their president, and the right to slaves was allowed in their Constitution

Efforts at Compromise Fail: When he took office, Lincoln tried to save the Union without war.

First Shots at Fort Sumter: Lincoln calls South Carolina to tell that he is going to send ships there to supply the fort.

Lincoln Calls out the Militia: Lincoln asked the Union states to provide 75,000 militiamen. Slave States who were still in the Union got mad and some left. This is where the Civil War started to kick off.

Hope this helps, have a blessed day! :-)
