The correct answer is A.
There were many Southerners in the decades before the Civil War who preferred disunion over the concessions on slavery. These radicals, known as fire-eaters, called on the South to reject the Compromise of 1850 as an assault on the constitutional right of slavery. The Georgia Platform was prepared to respond to events , having established a provision for a speciaal convention to deliberate alternatives; the convention would be a testament to the skill and moderation of a handful of Georgia statesmen.
Howell Cobb, Alexander Stephens and Robert Toombs represented Georgia in Congress and wielded a great ideal of political influence within the state. Their roles in these events not only aided the passage of the Compromise of 1850 but also ensured the defeat of the radical secessionists in Georgia. The culmination of their efforts was the Georgia Platform.
