Explanation:

Question 76

To determine the false statement about the Kansas - Nebraska Act:

1. The Missouri Compromise (1820) prohibited slavery above the 36°30′ parallel. The Kansas - Nebraska Act (1854) introduced popular sovereignty, allowing settlers to decide on slavery, which voided the Missouri Compromise's territorial slavery restriction.
2. The Compromise of 1850 dealt with California statehood, Utah and New Mexico territories (popular sovereignty), slave trade in DC, and Fugitive Slave Act. The Kansas - Nebraska Act didn't void the Compromise of 1850.
3. The Kansas - Nebraska Act split the Nebraska Territory into Kansas and Nebraska territories.
4. It applied popular sovereignty (settlers vote on slavery) to both territories. So the statement "It rendered the terms of the Compromise of 1850 void" is not true.

To identify the author of Uncle Tom's Cabin:

• Frederick Douglass was an abolitionist and author of his autobiography, not Uncle Tom's Cabin.
• Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852), a novel that highlighted the horrors of slavery and influenced the abolitionist movement.
• Stephen Douglas was a politician (known for the Kansas - Nebraska Act), not the author of this novel.
• Simon Legree is a character in Uncle Tom's Cabin, not the author.

Answer:

A. It rendered the terms of the Compromise of 1850 void
