Answer:
B. mid-Atlantic
Explanation:
The mid-Atlantic region consisted in the most populous, cosmopolitan and diverse of the 13 colonies: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland, and once the U.S. became an independent nation, they continued to develop quickly.
This resulted in the growth of cities, specially New York City and Philadelphia. These Mid-Atlantic cities became the first centers of industry and finance in the U.S., and with time, they irradiated this economic development, not only to the sorrounding areas, but also to other regions of the country like the Great Lakes.
Every time we added land the issue about if and when the area became a state was important. There was a balance in Washington and Congress between slave holding states and non-slave holding states (free states). The lawmakers from the free states were trying to eliminate slavery but couldn't manage to, so they instead tried to contain it. The Missouri Compromise contained it to any area south of the 36 30 parallel. Later they will attempt to keep it out of any lands won from the Mexican War with the Wilmot Proviso. These will all be over turned later with the Kansas-Nebraska Act that will state that the people living in the area should decide the matter themselves. This meant all open territory could be slave holding states. This would greatly increase their power and influence on politics in Washington.
Islamic reform movements disagree with fundamentalist beliefs because they believe in a different reading and interpretation of Islamic texts and scholarships that are not as extremist or fundamentalist as these groups believe in. Reform movements also often believe that Islamic texts can be reinterpreted with time and that they must be adapted to changing norms and contexts of modernization which fundamentalists ardently disagree with. Fundamentalists largely do not believe in the interpretation of the Qu'ran or Hadiths and take a very literal interpretation of these texts as how Islamic life should be governed even today.
