Which best explains why California’s application for statehood caused a sectional crisis?

History

Andreas93 [3]2 years ago

The correct answer is California’s entrance as a free state would upset the legislative balance in favor of the North.

When California applied for statehood, there was a balance of voters in Congress made up of two groups: one group who was in favor of the expansion of the institution of slavery and another group against the expansion of slavery.

To keep these groups from fighting, many different compromises were made throughout the 1800's in order to help keep the peace. An example of this would be the Compromise of 1850. In this compromise, California is admitted as a free state. However,the Southern states get a stronger fugitive slave law in return. This fighting over a balance of power between slave states and non slave states was one of the most significant causes of the American Civil War.

The lives Athenian girls were very different from the lives of girls today. Write a brief essay that explains the difference. Gi
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:Differences between Athenian girls and girls in this present age are enormous. There are a lot of differences between Athenian women and women in this present generation. Athenian women didn't have formal education but their mothers taught them the skills needed to manage a household. Athenian women often married older men and the wife's roles were to give birth to children, and manage the household. Athenian women did not usually interact with men who were not related to them. Women were also barred from participating in politics.In the present generation, women have formal education and hold respectable positions in the society. Women are free to marry whoever they like and their role isn't limited to childbirth alone. Women also participate in politics

Which of Wilson’s 14 points of peace talks about assassination?
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

The Fourteen Points was a statement of principles for peace that was to be used for peace negotiations in order to end World War I. The principles were outlined in a January 8, 1918 speech on war aims and peace terms to the United States Congress by President Woodrow Wilson. However, his main Allied colleagues (Georges Clemenceau of France, David Lloyd George of the United Kingdom, and Vittorio Orlando of Italy) were skeptical of the applicability of Wilsonian idealism.[1]
