1. For the first question, the correct answer would be a.

The correct answer for question 2 would be a. The Denmark Vesey plot was only one of many such plots led by some whites and mainly African Americans to change the situation of slaves. The effect this and the other plots had on southerner ways of thinking was for them the reinforce the belief that black people were inferior to white men and therefore, they should be kept under white people´s control. 3. The correct answer for this one would be b. South Carolinian´s were highly divided as the reasons for going to war did not affect them directly.

The correct answer would be c. Northerners were convinced that slavery needed to be ended and supported the abolition of slavery. They also believed that the lack of advancement in the South was due to slavery.

This Act became another dividing factor that led to the confrontation between the North and South. 7. The correct answer here is b. Cooperationists wanted the government to understand how real the secession was and how serious all the South was about breaking off from the Union. Thus, they insisted that all states at the same time would have to secede, instead of each one doing so independently. 8. The correct answer is d.
