d. international pressure resulting from haitis bloody slave rebellion led the united states to become the first country to officially outlaw slavery

Explanation:

During the 19th - century in the U.S., there were strong regional differences over slavery. The North was more anti - slavery while the South relied on it for its agricultural economy. Slavery was eventually abolished after the Civil War. Option B is incorrect as the Supreme Court did not rule slavery violated the Bill of Rights in the 19th - century; in fact, the Dred Scott decision in 1857 went the opposite way. Option C is wrong because not all states decided to allow or abolish slavery early in the 19th - century. Option D is incorrect as the U.S. was not the first country to outlaw slavery and international pressure from Haiti was not the main factor.

Answer:

A. Though the United States eventually abolished slavery, fierce regional disagreements about the system kept it in place throughout much of the century.
