America's economy grew by more than 400% between 1860 and 1900

financial innovation, and new business practices combined to fuel this
economic growth
"Titans of Industry" like John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, and J.P.

Unskilled urban workers did not share in economic gains, instead
enduring great poverty
Answer:
The candidates were:
Abraham Lincoln (Republican)
John C. Breckinridge (Southern Democrat)
John Bell (Constitutional Union)
Stephen A.Douglas (Northern Democrat)
Lincoln was outraged at the Kansas Nebraska act of 1854 and the Dred Scott decision. He was particularly displeased with Senator Stephen a. Douglas (D-Ill.) for championing the popular sovereignty doctrine, which allowed territories to decide whether to be free or slave states.
John C. Breckinridge supported the Kansas- Nebraska act, hoping it would stop slavery
Although a large slaveholder, Bell opposed efforts to expand slavery to the U.S. territories. He vigorously opposed Pres. James Knox Polk’s Mexican War policy and voted against the Compromise of 1850, the Kansas–Nebraska bill (1854), and the attempt to admit Kansas as a slave state. Bell’s temperate support of slavery combined with his vigorous defense of the Union brought him the presidential nomination on the Constitutional Union ticket in 1860, but he carried only Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee.
Stephen A. Douglass supported slavery.
Explanation:
Britain influenced China by establishing a British government in Hong Kong, in its quest for opium and fine products from Asia. Great Britain and some European countries began the trade of opium paying with gold for this one, since the European products had a low demand in China; this was part of the trade imbalance with China. There was a huge demand in Europe for Chinese tea, silks and porcelain pottery, which led to two wars, called the Opium Wars, in which China lost and had to accept the terms of Europe, while its population began to become addicted to opium. The British way of life and the addiction to opium, plus intervention in the Chinese government, only ended with the arrival of the Communists.
