C would be the correct answer in this case as A could be plausible but they aren't always used to simply. They're more of a means of expression like an article in a newspaper.
C is the correct answer.
A statute empowering a person or body to take certain action, especially to make regulations, rules, or orders.
Answer:
Change happened fast in the late 1800's. While "progress" was great for some, it also spelled the end of hundred of years of Native American tradition. It was hard to believe that the American West and East were part of the same country. The West was primarily an area of homestead farmers, miners, and cattle ranchers. While Easterners tried to make their way farther and farther west with the growth of industry and railways, Native Americans desperately clung to the hopes of maintaining their territory and tribal traditions.
Conflict between whites settlers and Native Americans had been around since the earliest settlements. Now that industry was expanding so rapidly, the fight for land brought a whole new face to these disagreements. The need for land, as well as the feeling of superiority to the Native Americans were the driving forces behind most of the policies derived in the 1870's and 1880's. The transcontinental railroad became the catalyst for much of the new conflict. Before its completion, the only Americans to venture westward had done so on horseback or covered wagon. Now thousands more could move across the much more quickly and a much less cost. In addition, what settlers also wanted the land to farm. Native Americans were increasingly pushed off their lands and forced onto reservations. The Indian Removal Act also contributed to this. At the beginning of the 1830s, Native Americans lived on millions of acres of land in Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina and Florida.
This was land that their ancestors had occupied and cultivated for generations. After this act came into effect, very few natives remained anywhere in the southeastern United States. They were pushed out West. Working on behalf of white settlers who wanted to grow cotton on the Indians' land, the federal government forced them to walk thousands of miles to a designated "Indian territory" across the Mississippi River.

Answer: Choice C.
They worried that Lincoln would try to end slavery in the United States.
==========================================================
Explanation:
The issue of slavery was debated and fought over for many years before the election of 1860. It was only until Lincoln became president that sparked the southern states to secede, which led to the Civil War. Proof of this is found in the many Declaration of Secession documents produced by each state that left the union. This is basically a document explaining why they left the United States to form the Confederate States of America (CSA) aka the Confederacy.
In modern times, some people mistakenly claim that the Civil War wasn't over slavery but rather states' rights. This is simply false. The documents I mentioned prove that slavery was the core issue. More proof is the various states having issues with the fugitive slave act, in that the northern states didn't really adhere to the law to the level of the southern states' liking. I guess you could argue that states' rights were involved, but specifically the south fought to have the right to own slaves. In short, it's all about getting the correct context. Expanding that context, simply look at the decades preceding the war and notice all of the tension involving whether a new state was a free state vs a slave state.
