Explanation:

⚡ Using what you learned: westward expansion policy and outcomes

Step 1: Analyze the first question

The first statement asks whether Thomas Jefferson believed that the Missouri Compromise symbolized the impending dangers of sectional divisions between the North and the South.

In an 1820 letter to John Holmes, Jefferson famously described the Missouri Compromise line as "a fire bell in the night," which filled him with terror because he saw it as the potential death knell of the Union due to deep sectional divisions over slavery. Therefore, this statement is True.

Step 2: Analyze Question 5

The question asks to identify the correct historical fact about William Lloyd Garrison.

William Lloyd Garrison was a prominent American abolitionist, journalist, and social reformer. He is best known as the editor and publisher of the abolitionist newspaper The Liberator, which he founded in 1831.

• The Anti-Saloon League was founded much later (1893).
• Garrison did not run for president as a Whig or challenge Martin Van Buren.

Thus, the correct option is published the anti-slavery newspaper \<The Liberator.\>.

Step 3: Analyze Question 6

The statement asks whether a majority of the Mexican public was against ceding land to the United States after the loss of Texas.

Following the Texas Revolution and leading up to the Mexican-American War, Mexican public opinion and leadership were fiercely nationalistic and highly opposed to ceding any more territory to the United States. The loss of Texas was viewed as a national humiliation, and there was widespread public outrage against any politicians who suggested negotiating territorial concessions with the Americans. Therefore, this statement is True.

Answer:

• First Question: True
• Question 5: published the anti-slavery newspaper \<The Liberator.\>
• Question 6: True
