Which is the best description of why the compromise of 1850 was successful in defusing the sectional conflict between both sides of the slavery issue?
a) northern whigs and republicans were that maine entered the union as a "free" state, while southern democrats were appeased by the admission of missouri to the union as a "slave" state.
b) both sides of the conflict--the whigs and republicans of the north and the democrats of the south-- were satisfied with the abolition of slavery in all states and territories north of the 34th parallel.
c) northern whigs and republicans supported the compromise because it brought kansas and nebraska into the union as "free" states, while southern democrats were appeased with the repeal of the tariff of 1832.
d) northern whigs and republicans were with california's admission to the union as a "free" state and the use of popular sovereignty in western territories, while southern democrats were appeased with the passage of a stronger fugitive slave act.

1. the townshend acts of 1767 “threaten the country with poverty and ruin.”

at a town meeting held at faneuil hall in boston on october 28, 1767, boston freeholders and residents discussed the implications of the brutal townshend acts levied against the colonists. the townshend acts were a set of four acts passed by the british parliament in the summer of 1767 in order to generate revenue for the crown (through duties on goods such as lead, glass, paper, and tea) as well as exert british control over the increasingly rebellious colonists.

during the oct. 28 meeting, the bostonians found:

the excessive use of foreign superfluities is the chief cause of the present distressed state of this town, as it is thereby drained of its money: which misfortune is likely to be increased by means of the late additional burthens and impositions on the trade of the province, which threaten the country with poverty and ruin.

as a result, the citizens unanimously voted to boycott all british-made goods.
