Question 53

To determine the percentage of southern white families that did not own any slaves in 1860, we refer to historical data. In 1860, around 75% of southern white families did not own slaves. This is based on historical records of the southern United States' social and economic structure regarding slavery.

The Nullification Crisis was a political conflict in the United States in the early 1830s. It erupted over tariff policies. South Carolina, led by John C. Calhoun, opposed the federal tariffs (the Tariff of 1828 and 1832) as they believed these tariffs favored the North and hurt the South's economy. The other options: the expansion of slavery was a later - era issue (e.g., in the lead - up to the Civil War), the Indian Removal Act was about relocating Native Americans, and the annexation of Texas was a separate political event.
