Answer:

A. the seasoning of enslaved Africans

Explanation:

The term 'Seasoning' Refers to a disease outbreak that enslaved Africans gt after they're being put in a different environment.

Generally, African slaves were kept in a terrible condition, with very little hygiene, high humidity, and not enough sunlight.  This caused many African slaves in Jamaica obtain various type of Tropical diseases, specifically Malaria  (which is caused by mosquitoes bite).

The slave owners did not see any merit in treating the slaves, so most of the ones that infected were just left there without any medication. This explains the really high mortality rate.

Why was the wilmot proviso divisive to congress
Brrunno [24]
Northern states and southern states were at odds over the potential spread of slavery in new territories and what that would do to the balance of power in Congress.  

In 1846, Congressman David Wilmot of Pennsylvania introduced the proviso as an amendment to an appropriations bill in connection with the peace treaty being negotiated with Mexico.  His amendment stipulated that any territory gained from Mexico would be free, not allowing slavery.  Wilmot's amendment passed in the House of Representatives, but was unable to get approval in the Senate.

The Compromise of 1850, a package of five bills passed by Congress in September of that year, sought to accommodate some of the issues both South and North were debating over during those years.  But we know that war over the slavery issue was yet to come.

What is the significance of Pearl Harbor to the ending of World War II?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
It don't think it ended the war. It was however the reason that America chose to join the second world war. Before that America was hesitant to involve itself in 'Europe's issues' and only participated by lending money to some countries involved in the war.

After the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbour the US took it as a person offence and direct attack against American, and joined the second world war alongside the allies (England, France, etc..). Many say that Americas involvement was a big component to the Allies winning the war. 

The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan were however the bombings that truly ended the second world war. This was done by the allies as the Japanese refused to surrender.
