true
false

Explanation:

Question 1

The Compromise of 1850 addressed issues related to slavery, including the admission of states, the Fugitive Slave Act, and the status of slavery in new territories. Tariffs, war, and cotton were not the primary focus of this compromise.

Most northerners were against the expansion of slavery into new western territories. The North generally had anti - slavery or free - soil sentiments, while the South wanted slavery to expand. So the statement is false.

In the mid - 1800s, the "balance of power" between the North and the South in Congress was related to having the same number of free and slave states, as this would balance their influence on slavery - related legislation. So the statement is true.

Answer:

B. slavery (assuming the options are labeled A: tariffs, B: slavery, C: war, D: cotton)
