Answer:

After the Mexican war (1846- 1848), the issue of slavery was reopened. It was discussed whether slavery should be allowed in the new territories in the West. Arguments against allowing slavery include the following:

Allowing slavery in the new Western states would compromise the balance between the number of states that allowed slavery and those that forbid it.
White workers would be affected by allowing slavery, as the degradation of white labor would take place.
The issue of slavery was a part of the struggle for power between North and South. The area which won the slavery discussion would be considered as a winner of this political game.

The correct answer is 3) Missionaries interested in converting Hawaiians to Christianity.

Americans' interest in Hawaii was inspired by Missionaries interested in converting Hawaiians to Christianity.

It all started with the first Christian missions that arrived in Hawai by the 1820s. The New England missionaries were the first to arrive a the islands and tried the conversion of the Natives. However, white Americans soon realized that Hawaii had plenty of lands to grow Sugar, and by the 1840s they saw a great opportunity to annexation. What followed was a series of turmoils and conflicts in Hawaii due to the permanent intervention of United States interest on the islands, until in 1959, Hawaii officially entered as the 50 state of the Union.
