The correct answer is "B) The South."
The southern states were heavily dependant on the agriculture industry. They greatly benefited from the "Cotton Boom" during the first half of the 19th century, which made the United States one of the leading cotton producers in the world.
The agriculture plantation system used slaves as the primary workforce. They were seen as an exchangeable resource. As a result, a whole economic activity developed based on the slave trade.
The system ultimately declined with the abolition of slavery.
The United States began regulating immigration soon after it won independence from Great Britain, and the laws since enacted have reflected the politics and migrant flows of the times. Early legislation tended to impose limits that favored Europeans, but a sweeping 1965 law opened doors to immigrants from other parts of the world. In more recent years, laws and presidential actions have been shaped by concerns about refugees, unauthorized immigration and terrorism.
According to Baumrind (1971), the parent who uses punitive disciplinary measures is authoritarian. Baumrind’s (1971) introduced authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive typologies of parenting styles. The punitive disciplinary measures are considered to be behaviours like punishing children by taking privileges away from a child with little if any explanations or making threats with little or no justification as a way to punish a child. The authoritarian parenting style is characterized by the regular usage of punishment, a very low level of parental warmth and nurturing paired with unresponsiveness and lack of trust. Also, parents have high expectations when it comes to a child's behavior.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although the question doesn't include options, we can say the following.
Our Senate has finally emerged from weeks of debate with a decided version of the Missouri Compromise. Among its list of provisions, all lands acquired in the Louisiana Purchase that are north of the southern border of Missouri, with the exception of Arkansas, will now be free states, where slavery was prohibited. On the other hand, the states south this border would be slavery states, where people could own slaves.
In 1820, the Missouri Compromise represented an agreement between north and southern states of the Union about the situation of the western territories recently acquired. The negotiations were based on the authorization of slavery in these territories. The decision was that Missouri was going to enter the Union as a slave state, meanwhile, Maine entered as a free state.
