Answer:

The Kansas-Nebraska Act was an 1854 bill that mandated “popular sovereignty”–allowing settlers of a territory to decide whether slavery would be allowed within a new state’s borders. Proposed by Stephen A. Douglas–Abraham Lincoln’s opponent in the influential Lincoln-Douglas debates–the bill overturned the Missouri Compromise’s use of latitude as the boundary between slave and free territory. The conflicts that arose between pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers in the aftermath of the act’s passage led to the period of violence known as Bleeding Kansas, and helped pave the way for the American Civil War (1861-65).

This 1854 bill to organize western territories became part of the political whirlwind of sectionalism and railroad building, splitting two major political parties and helping to create another, as well as worsening North-South relations

While many believe Lincoln gave up too much and even used shady tactics, at the end Abraham Lincoln was able to pass the Thirteenth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States Constitution which abolished slavery forever.

While the passing of the amendment did not stop the wide-spread racism against Black people, it did help to generally free most of them from bondage and gave them a new life.

What was the Dust Bowl? How could we have stopped it from happening?
PtichkaEL [24]
Let’s start with the basics first… The Dust Bowl was the name given to the drought-stricken Southern Plains region of the United States, which suffered severe dust storms during a dry period in the 1930s. As high winds and choking dust swept the region from Texas to Nebraska, people and livestock were killed and crops failed across the entire region. The massive dust storms caused farmers to lose their livelihoods and their homes. Deflation from the Depression aggravated the plight of Dust Bowl farmers. Prices for the crops they could grow fell below subsistence levels. In 1932, the federal government sent aid to the drought-affected states. Now here is why it stopped or how we stopped it. While the dust was greatly reduced thanks to ramped up conservation efforts and sustainable farming practices, the drought was still in full effect in April of 1939. In the fall of 1939, rain finally returned in significant amounts to many areas of the Great Plains, signaling the end of the Dust Bowl. Hope this helps!

I believe D is the correct answer. If Japan (or any country) were to be hit with the largest natural disaster in recent history, it would most likely sway people away from migrating into the country.
