Question

What was the New England Emigrant Aid Society?

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B. The New England Emigrant Aid Society helped people move to Kansas to vote against slavery.

Explanation:

Founded in Boston, Massachusetts, by activist Eli Thayer, the New England Aid Society was created as a response to the Kansas-Nebraska Act, that was a law that allowed the residents of these territories to decide whether or not slavery as going to be permitted in that state. The goal of the New England Aid Society was to transport anti-slavery immigrants into the Kansas Territory, so that they could shift the State's vote in favor of making slavery illegal in the State.
