There was a Federalist president and a Democratic-Republican vice-president and there were ties. Federalist John Adams defeated Democratic-Republican Thomas Jefferson. Despite the vituperation between their respective camps, neither Adams nor Jefferson actively campaigned for the presidency.<span>[3][4]</span>This became a long-standing tradition in American politics lasting into the second half of the 19th century. Jefferson got the second uppermost number of electoral votes and was chosen as vice president according to the prevailing rules of Electoral College voting. This election marked the formation of the First Party System, and recognized a rivalry between Federalist New England and Democratic-Republican South, with the middle states holding the balance of power

1. How did California’s desire to be admitted to the union as a free state in 1850 cause disagreements between the North and Sou

Shkiper50 [21]

1. Answer: California's admittance to the Union as a free state angered the South because it meant there were more free states than slave states. It also angered them because slaves could escape and go there to be free.

2. Answer: The Compromise of 1850 eased the South's concerns of Congress abolishing slavery after admitting California as a free state because the Fugitive Slave Act was a provision in the compromise that would legally require escaped slaves to be returned to their owners if caught. The compromise also ensured popular sovereignty which allowed individual states to vote on issues.

3. Answer: The Fugitive Slave Act required that escaped slaves that went to the North would have to be returned to their owner in the South. The North rebelled against this law, however.

4. Answer: Georgia's response to the Compromise of 1850 was the Georgia Platform. It said that Georgia would accept the compromise if the North no longer made any attacks on slavery in the South.

I hope this helps!!! :)
