The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The United States already lived in a difficult situation regarding the possibility of a big division when Abraham Lincoln became the President of the United States in 1860.

Southern governmental leaders convinced themselves that the arrival of Lincoln would make things worse for their economic and political interests. Few things were really available to try to impede secession and not confronting the country. The Dred Scott decision complicated more the differences that existed in the Democratic Party.

President Lincoln was very clear in his political decisions and the southern states' leaders were sure that the best and next step, would be secession.  And those ideas were so ingrained in both sides -North and South- that really nothing else could be done at that time to impede the inevitable.

What was the purpose of mercantillism during the late 17th century and early 18th century? * The mother country controlled trade
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

The mother country controlled trade and exported more than imported

Explanation:

The British Empire came up with a strategy to keep their economy quite healthy with a system called mercantilism. The colonies of the British were the ones making money for the mother country and they put restrictions on how the colonies should spend their monies.  

The British put certain taxes on goods that were brought into the country to discourage that practice and this made the colonies to buy goods that were only made by the British and not that of the European countries.
