C.) Two large canal systems linked Eastern manufacturers with the Northwest Territory.
The correct answer is A) crafting compromises.
Henry Clay actually earned the nickname "Great Compromiser" due to his efforts in helping Congress avoid all out war during the 19th century. His first compromise that gained national recognition was the Missouri Compromise. This compromise would be used for roughly 4 decades when determining whether or not a new territory added to the US would have slavery.
His next big compromise was the Compromise of 1850. This helped to settle the controversy over what would happen in terms of slavery in the new territories acquired by the United States after the Mexican-American War.
The two actions by the Federal Government that were attempts to preserve the Union in the face of a bitter quarrel over slavery are Missouri Compromise and Compromise of 1850. Option B is correct.
The Missouri Compromise constituted the legislation that admitted Maine to the United States as a free state along with Missouri as a slave state, thus maintaining the balance of power between North and South in the United States Senate.
The Compromise of 1850 consists of five laws passed in September of 1850 that addressed the issue of slavery.

- If the United States would have paid Spain the predetermined amount of compensation, granting 'independence to the Philippines' would have become more difficult.
