Explanation:

• Question 6:
• The Missouri Compromise (1820) and the Compromise of 1850 were both attempts to deal with the expansion of slavery in U.S. territories. The Missouri Compromise aimed to balance slave and free states, while the Compromise of 1850 addressed issues like the status of new territories acquired from Mexico.
• Option B is incorrect as these compromises were not about Georgia secession. Option C refers to the Nullification Crisis (related to South Carolina, not these compromises). Option D is about the Confederacy formed in 1861, long after these compromises.
• Question 7:
• The Georgia Platform (1850) stated that Georgia would support the Compromise of 1850 if the federal government passed the Fugitive Slave Act. It was a pro - slavery stance.
• Option A is wrong as the Georgia Platform was after the Missouri Compromise (1820). Option B is incorrect as Georgia was a slave - holding state and supported slavery in its own right. Option C is about Georgia's secession in 1861, not the Georgia Platform.
• Question 8:
• Abraham Lincoln was a Republican. The Republican Party was against the expansion of slavery. The North, which was more industrial and had a growing anti - slavery sentiment (though not all Northerners were abolitionists), supported Lincoln. The South was pro - slavery and opposed Lincoln. The West was more divided but the North had a larger population and more electoral votes that went to Lincoln. The East is too broad a term; the key division was between North and South.
