The correct answer is A. Slavery must not be allowed to spread to western territories. The Free-Soil Party was a political party in the United States from 1848 to 1852. The main opposition was the expansion of slavery on western territories. The Free-Soil Party believed that free men on free land were a superior system comparing it to slavery, because of the economical opportunities and possibilities. This political party was founded in New York after they denied the endorsement of the Wilmot Proviso law during the Democratic convention in that state; this act would have banned slavery on the newly acquired territory during the Mexican-American war.  

The main problem that caused separation within the Democratic Party was the fact that during the New York Democratic convention of 1848, the Wilmot Proviso act was not endorsed. This act would ban slavery in territory acquired by the United States from México after the war. For the dislike of many members of a group called Barnburners –which was the name of two opposing ideas in the New York Democratic Party. The main idea separating both groups was slavery and those who opposed it. The Barnburners were the anti-slavery and the Hunkers were those who approved of slavery.  

Though this political party had a short life, its impact in the political scenario was bigger. For one, they presented the American people with two Senators and fourteen Representatives on the 31st Congress from 1849-1851. They also ran with the banner ¨Free soil, free speech, free labor and free men.¨ These were the inspirations of the Free-Soil Party, and its main goal was to prevent the spread of slavery onto western territories.

Answer:

- Poll taxes in elections

- Voting Rights Act of 1965

Explanation:

  Not long ago, citizens in some states had to pay a fee to vote in a national election. This fee was called a poll tax. On January 23, 1964, the United States ratified the 24th Amendment to the Constitution, prohibiting any poll tax in elections for federal officials.

  On August 4, 1965, the United States Senate passed the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The long-delayed issue of voting rights had come to the forefront because of a voter registration drive launched by civil rights activists in Selma, Alabama.

What did the Voting Rights Act of 1965 accomplish?

This act was signed into law on August 6, 1965, by President Lyndon Johnson. It outlawed the discriminatory voting practices adopted in many southern states after the Civil War, including literacy tests as a prerequisite to voting.

On a North American continent controlled by American Indians, contact among the peoples of Europe,the Americas, and West Africa
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Here we just have some sentences and considerations, but there is no question at all. It seems you forgot to include the question.

It is true all the things you attach, but what do you want to know?

If we can help to add some comments, these would be:

Yes, native populations in North America developed a wide variety of social, political, and economic structures based in part on interactions with the environment and each other. But everything changed with the arrival of the white European colonists. They had a completely different vision of life, society, business, and culture.

This encounter was difficult and the Native American Indians tribes got the worst part.

White Europeans came to the Americans to start a new life and make a profit. Some others were being persecuted by the church because of religious differences, and in the Americas, found a new place to practice their religious values.

But most Europeans wanted to exploit the many raw materials and natural resources found in the Americas. That is why they wanted more and more land, to make a profit.

The vision of the Indian tribes was completely different. They saw nature as a "mother" and truly respect her as so. That is why they created songs, chants, and dances, to honor mother nature.

How did nationalism-which drove Hungary to demand its own parliamentary self-rule from the Austrian Empire- finally lead to the
viktelen [127]

In the Balkans, Serbia had won autonomy in 1817, and southern Greece won independence in the 1830s. But many Serbs and Greeks still lived in the Balkans under Ottoman rule. The Ottoman empire was home to other national groups, such as Bulgarians and Romanians. During the 1800s, various subject peoples staged revolts against the Ottomans, hoping to set up their own independent states.

Such nationalist stirrings became mixed up with the ambitions of the great European powers. In the mid-1800s, Europeans came to see the Ottoman empire as "the sick man of Europe." Eagerly, they scrambled to divide up Ottoman lands. Russia pushed south toward the Black Sea and Istanbul, which Russians still called Constantinople. Austria-Hungary took control of the provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina. This action angered the Serbs, who also had hoped to expand into that area. Meanwhile, Britain and France set their sights on other Ottoman lands in the Middle East and North Africa.
