Which reform movement caused the greatest tension between North and South?
- A.
The drive for temperance
- B.
Abolitionism
- C.
Women's rights
- D.
Discrimination against immigrants
Correct Answer
B. AbolitionismExplanation
Abolitionism caused the greatest tension between the North and South because it directly challenged the institution of slavery. The North was largely in favor of abolition, seeing it as a moral issue and a violation of basic human rights. In contrast, the South heavily relied on slavery for their economy and way of life, and viewed any attempts to abolish it as a threat to their livelihoods and social order. This fundamental disagreement over the issue of slavery ultimately led to the secession of the Southern states and the start of the American Civil War.Rate this question:

- B.
Stretch across North America from the Atlantic to the Pacific
- C.
Become the most powerful nation in the world
- D.
Spread liberty throughout the world
Correct Answer
B. Stretch across North America from the Atlantic to the PacificExplanation
Manifest Destiny was a belief held by many Americans in the 1840s that the United States was destined to expand its territory from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. This expansion would involve stretching across North America, encompassing all the land in between. The idea was rooted in the belief that it was the United States' divine mission to spread its values, institutions, and way of life across the continent. This expansionist mindset ultimately led to the acquisition of vast territories, such as the Louisiana Purchase and the Mexican Cession, and the eventual fulfillment of the goal to stretch across North America.Rate this question:
