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!!! :)
Here’s what I would say.
“I agree with this statement because it is true. Those who do not learn history won’t know how things happened or who or what was affected. Therefore they are “destined” to repeat. You cannot become better at something without knowing how you failed or succeeded the last time. By understanding our past faults, we are able to connect the dots, so to speak, and create a better future for ourselves and future generations.”
