Hey there! I'm happy to help!
QUESTION 1
Most electoral support in the states that would eventually become the Confederacy went to...
A) Bell.
B) Breckinridge.
C) Davis.
D) Douglas
It was the Southern states that ended up becoming the Confederacy. Most of the Southern states are Green, which corresponds with B) Breckinridge.
QUESTION 2
Using the electoral map, you can determine that
A) Lincoln only won because of a divided south.
B) Lincoln should not have been sworn in as President.
C) Breckinridge lost only because territories could not vote.
D) the majority of Americans could not agree on a presidential candidate.
Answer A is incorrect because the South was literally all green so they were not divided.
Answer B is incorrect because Lincoln won the electoral vote so he should have been sworn in as President.
Answer C is incorrect because the territories would not have had that many electoral votes if they were states and not all of them would have been in support of slavery, so this answer option is unlikely.
The support was very split in the country for the candidates; Lincoln won mainly because there were so many people in the North. So, I would settle on D) the majority of Americans could not agree on a presidential candidate.
QUESTION 3
Most of Douglas’ support came from which of these areas?
A) border states
B) southern states
C) northern states
D) western territories
Douglas only won the state of Missouri. This was a border state between the North and the South, so the best answer is A) border states. He didn't really have much support in the North or the South, and the Western territories couldn't vote yet. California and Oregon were Western states but they voted for Lincoln.
I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day! :D
