Detailed explanation-1: -How did U.S. tariff policies contribute to sectionalism prior to the Civil War? Northern states benefited from the tariffs, while Southern states considered them an economic burden. How did economic opportunities for free African Americans differ from enslaved African Americans during the early 1800s?
Detailed explanation-2: -In the North, however, high tariffs were viewed favorably because such tariffs would make imported goods more expensive. That way, goods produced in the North would seem relatively cheap, and Americans would want to buy American goods instead of European items.
Detailed explanation-3: -An estimated 550, 000 immigrants passed through the Port of New Orleans between 1820 and 1860, making it the second-leading port of entry in the United States by 1837. Of those 550, 000 immigrants around 350, 000 of them arrived between 1847 and 1857.
Detailed explanation-4: -How did both the Missouri Compromise and the Compromise of 1850 contribute to differences between free and enslaved African Americans? The institution of slavery was allowed in some new states, while other states allowed freedom for African Americans.
Detailed explanation-5: -Some slaveholders believed that African Americans were biologically inferior to their masters. During the 1800s, this arguement was taken quite seriously, even in scientific circles. Defenders of slavery argued that slavery had existed throughout history and was the natural state of mankind.
