Answer:

Opium.

Explanation:

The Opium War (1839-1842) was a military conflict fought between Qing China and the United Kingdom. Great Britain was a major buyer of Chinese luxury goods, such as silk and tea, while British exports to China were comparatively minor. This created a major trade deficit for the British, who also had to pay for the Chinese goods with silver. <u>In order to counter the trade imbalance, the British smuggled opium from India into China</u>. When the Chinese government acted against the opium trade, Britain responded with force. British victory on the war forced the Chinese to sign the Treaty of Nanking, which opened its ports to British trade and ceded Hong Kong to the British crown.

Who are the colonists addressing this song towards? Cite one piece of evidence from the video that led you to reach this conclus
Bond [772]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You forgot to include the video, the link to the video, or the name of the video to look for it. This information is necessary to know what you are talking about.

However, doing some research, we can comment on the following.

The colonists addressing this song towards English King George III. What the colonists are doing is expressing the series of complaints stated in the Declaration of Independence drafted by Thomas Jefferson and other four prominent founding fathers, as was the case of Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, John Adams, and Robert Livingstone.

The Second Continental Congress held in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in July 1776, asked Jefferson to draft the Declaration, citing all the grievances committed by the English crown. The Declaration was finally adopted on the fourth of July of that year.

During the 1850s, what congressional action led to sectional tensions and the formation of a new political party
Mazyrski [523]
I think the answer would be the Compromise of 1850 that led to sectional tensions and the formation of a new political party. It was a package of five separate bills passed by the United States Congress in September 1850, which defused a four-year political confrontation between slave and free states regarding the status of territories acquired.
