Explanation:

⚡ Using what you learned: westward expansion policy and outcomes

Step 1: Identify the dominant cash crop replaced by cotton

In the early nineteenth century, the invention of the cotton gin (1793) and the expansion into the Deep South led to the "Cotton Kingdom." Before this rapid rise, tobacco was the dominant cash crop of the American South (particularly in the Upper South states like Virginia and North Carolina). Due to soil depletion caused by tobacco farming and the immense profitability of cotton, cotton quickly replaced tobacco as the South's primary economic driver.

Step 2: Identify the political party formed in opposition to Andrew Jackson

In 1834, diverse political factions united by their opposition to what they viewed as the tyrannical executive overreach of President Andrew Jackson (whom they mockingly referred to as "King Andrew I") coalesced to form a new political party. This party took the name "Whig," drawing inspiration from the British Whigs who historically opposed the absolute power of the British monarch.
