It is then we must turn to the witnesses of faith: to Abraham, who "in hope. . . believed against hope";51 to the Virgin Mary, who, in "her pilgrimage of faith", walked into the "night of faith"52 in sharing the darkness of her son's suffering and death; and to so many others: "Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith."53

The northerners didn't need slavery because their main economy is manufacturing at factories.
Because they didn't have anything to do with slavery, they viewed it with a critical eye.

The correct answer is "B"
The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ended the Mexican-American War, but there were issues that needed to be resolved for both sides, such as the border limits of the La Mesilla Valley, protection for Mexico from attacks by Indian tribes and the right of transit through the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.
La Venta de La Mesilla (known as Gadsden Purchase in the United States) is a region of 76 845 km² of present-day southern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico that was purchased from Mexico by the United States in a treaty signed by US President Franklin Pierce who signed it on June 24, 1853 and the Mexican ruler Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna who signed it on December 30, 1853 and ratified by the United States Senate on April 25, 1854. The purchase included land south of the Gila River and west of the Rio Grande and was made for the purpose of building a transcontinental railroad along the southern route of the United States. It also solved the pending border problems after the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo that ended the Mexican-American War.
In the border states there was a widespread concern with the military coercion of the Confederation. Many, if not most, opposed it. When Abraham Lincoln called the troops to march south to retrieve Fort Sumter and other national belongings, the Southern Unionists were dismayed. Secessionists in Arkansas, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia got those states to separate from the US. and join the Confederate States of America.
In Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri, they were both in favor of the Confederation and in favor of the Union. West Virginia was formed in 1862-63 after unionists from the counties of northwest Virginia, then occupied by the Union Army, had established a loyal ("restored") government of the state of Virginia. Lincoln recognized this government and allowed them to divide the state. Although all the states, except the South Carolina slavery, contributed white battalions to the Union and the Confederate armies (Unionists of South Carolina fought in units of other states of the Union), the break was more severe in these border states. 4 Sometimes men from the same family fought on opposite sides. Nearly 170,000 men from the border states (including African-Americans) fought in the Union army and some 86,000 in the Confederate army.
Ultimately, Lincoln intended that these border states remain in the Union, in order to provide a bit of balance between the north and the south and thus be able to continue.
