What caused the democratic party to split along sectional lines in the election of 1860?
Mkey [24]

Answer: D) The split occurred because Northern Democrats and Southern Democrats disagreed over how to deal with the issue of slavery.

Explanation:

Many (not all) Northern Democrats were strong abolitionists in favor of getting rid of slavery altogether. The Democrats of the South wanted to keep slavery as much of the Southern economy relied on it. So choice A is slightly related to this, but choice D is the better answer.

Región que se encuentra en el Cercano Oriente, en la zona desértica del Golfo Pérsico, entre los ríos Tigris y Eufrate
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

Mesopotamia.

Explanation:

Mesopotamia es el área alrededor de los ríos Éufrates y Tigris en lo que hoy es Irak, Siria y Turquía. Esta región es considerada como la cuna de la civilización, dado que allí, hace unos 5.000 años, se establecieron las principales culturas sedentarias políticamente organizadas de la historia. Esto fue así pues las fértiles llanuras del sur de Mesopotamia, que formaban parte de la llamada media luna fértil, produjeron ricas cosechas, garantizando la abundancia de recursos para las civilizaciones que allí se establecían. Así, Sumerios, Asirios y Babilonios, entre otros, surgieron en dicha región.
