Answer:
The Civil War was the culmination of four decades in which deep and entrenched economic, social and political differences were forged between the northern and southern states.
To the conditions of racial difference and slavery in which the South based its economy, which was primarily agricultural (cotton, sugar, rice and tobacco), it opposed the northern manufacturing industry, where the performance was based on the birth of a new class of proletarians, who despite not being slaves, but free citizens, had economic levels that led them to real conditions of slavery.
In the north, abolitionist groups emerged, which advocated violence as a means to achieve their purposes. In the south there were also groups organized for violence.
Between the years 1845 and 1860, events were happening that, with the help of agitators in both areas, irritated people: the publication of the "Uncle Tom's Cabin" by Harriet Beecher Stowe and its clandestine distribution in the South, the Supreme Court's decision on the Dreed Scott slave trial, the rejection of the pro-slavery Constitution of the future State of Kansas and the prohibition of allowing the concurrence of slaves for the construction of railroads in the territory of Nebraska by southern companies, among others.
This schism was deepened after the creation of the new Republican Party that was integrated by conservatives and dissenting Democrats of the North and South, mainly on issues related to slavery or freedom. This whole problem was also accompanied by growing competition from both regions in international trade, competition encouraged by the protection provided by the United Kingdom to the South, given that the North was a very important competitor for its main manufactured products.

Answer:
Correct Answer:
The rapid growth of urban America and the influx of millions of immigrants.
Explanation:
During the late nineteenth century, there was a great control of the political machines by few individuals. They helped in determining the direction an election would swing to through their political networks and contacts.
<em>These political bosses were able to control such political machinery as a result of the rapid growth of the urban America. Also, the influx of immigrants from China, Europe and other parts of the world helped towards this.</em>
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Farmers in the Middle West and the South formed a coalition that supported changes in the economy of the United States. It was known as the Farmer's Alliance and was formed in the 1880s by farmers that had economic problems and their voice was not being heard by the government. So in 1892, they formed thePeople's Party also known as the Populist Party, to help farmers to help overcome problems such as falling prices of crops and low credit support.
Historically the particular routes were also shaped by the powerful influence of winds and currents during the age of sail. For example, from the main trading nations of Western Europe, it was much easier to sail westwards after first going south of 30 N latitude and reaching the so-called "trade winds"; thus arriving in the Caribbean rather than going straight west to the North American mainland. Returning from North America, it is easiest to follow the Gulf Stream in a northeasterly direction using the westerlies. A triangle similar to this, called the volta do mar was already being used by the Portuguese, before Christopher Columbus' voyage, to sail to the Canary Islands and the Azores. Columbus simply expanded this triangle outwards, and his route became the main way for Europeans to reach, and return from, the Americas.

The best-known triangular trading system is the transatlantic slave trade that operated from Bristol, London, and Liverpool. during the late 16th to early 19th centuries, carrying slaves, cash crops, and manufactured goods between West Africa, Caribbean or American colonies and the European colonial powers, with the northern colonies of British North America, especially New England, sometimes taking over the role of Europe. The use of African slaves was fundamental to growing colonial cash crops, which were exported to Europe. European goods, in turn, were used to purchase African slaves, who were then brought on the sea lane west from Africa to the Americas, the so-called Middle Passage. Despite being driven primarily by economic needs, Europeans sometimes had a religious justification for their actions. In 1452, for instance, Pope Nicholas V, in the Dum Diversas, granted to the kings of Spain and Portugal "full and free permission to invade, search out, capture, and subjugate the Saracens [Muslims] and pagans and any other unbelievers ... and to reduce their persons into perpetual slavery."
