You know I dislike slavery; and you fully admit the abstract wrong of it. So far there is no cause of difference. But you say th

at sooner than yield your legal right to the slave— especially at the bidding of those who are not themselves interested, you would see the Union dissolved. I am not aware that any one is bidding you to yield that right; very certainly I am not. I leave that matter entirely to yourself. I also acknowledge your rights and my obligations, under the constitution, in regard to your slaves. I confess I hate to see the poor creatures hunted down, and caught, and carried back to their stripes, and unrewarded toils; but I bite my lip and keep quiet. In 1841 you and I had together a tedious low-water trip, on a Steam Boat from Louisville to St. Louis. You may remember, as I well do, that from Louisville to the mouth of the Ohio there were, on board, ten or a dozen slaves, shackled together with irons. That sight was a continual torment to me; and I see something like it every time I touch the Ohio, or any other slaveborder. It is hardly fair to you to assume, that I have no interest in a thing which has, and continually exercises, the power of making me miserable. You ought rather to appreciate how much the great body of the Northern people do crucify their feelings, in order to maintain their loyalty to the constitution and the Union
A.to persuade his friend to free his slaves
b.to state his position on the expansion of slavery
c.to convince the South to remain part of the Union
d.to explain to Mr. Speed that he is breaking the law

A. Jackson's attacks showed how weak Spain was in Florida is the correct alternative.

In 1818, Andrew Jackson's hunt for the Red Sticks ended up causing international affairs and diplomacy problems. This happened because the invaded land was Spain's territory and got invaded without any official cause or declarations of war.

Despite the controversy the invasion actually ended up turning Andrew Jackson into a hero and forced the signature of the Adams-Onís Treaty, in 1919. The treaty officially transferred the Florida region to the U.S. from Spanish domain. These events were important for this resolution because even though Spain was angered with the 1818 invasion, it showed their inability to retaliate or conquer back the land. Therefore, the only viable option was for the Spanish to sign the treaty and cede Florida, showing how fragile and unable to the defend the land by the Spanish, relinquishing their last piece of land in the Americas.
