The correct answer is C) it created divisions that ended the Whig Party and split the Democratic Party.

The effect that the issue of slavery had on politics in the 1850s was that it created divisions that ended the Whig Party and split the Democratic Party.

Some Whigs from the North supported the abolition of slavery but many Whigs in the South supported slavery because the economy of the South depended so much on the use of slaves to grow cash crops that needed to be exported to Europe. Years later, with the election of Abraham Lincoln in November 1860, divisions increased between the northerners and the southerners.

Many Farmers borrowed money against the profits of future crops ( D )

These farming practices were very bad practices that lead to economic downturns because it resulted mostly to drastic reduction of agricultural produce and availability of food in the open market which might lead to importation of food that would have been produced locally and add to the country's GDP.

Farmers borrowing money against the profits of his future crops is a very bad farming practice because the profits were supposed to be used to invest into the farm and not to service loans.
