Explanation:

1. Analyze each option:

• Option 1: Support for slavery among wealthy landowners didn't decrease; instead, tensions rose, so this is incorrect.
• Option 2: John Brown's raid increased fears of slave revolts and strengthened support for secession in the South, so this is correct.
• Option 3: Slave owners saw Brown as a terrorist, not a hero, so this is incorrect.
• Option 4: After Brown's raid, Southern states passed stricter laws to control enslaved people and prevent rebellions, so this is correct.
• Option 5: Slave owners were mostly Democrats or pro - slavery, and they didn't elect Republicans to prevent bloodshed; Republicans were anti - slavery in many cases, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

B. Support grew for secession from the Union
D. States passed laws to prevent rebellions by enslaved people
