Although Northerners could and did ignore the 1793 Fugitive Slave Act, the passage of the law was signficant because A: it set legal precedent
B: it caused the Civil War
C: it was a step toward abolishing slavery
D: blacks had voted for its passage

A

Explanation:

Well we can start by crossing out "C" and "D" because the act only upheld slavery so either answer would not make sense. I'm sure one could argue this act was significant to the Civil War, but it was not the sole cause, so we can cross out "B." "A" makes the most sense, and is true, as we can see exemplified within The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850.

B

Explanation:

i would say the best answer is b. This is because the fugitive slave act disgusted the north and created more hostility between the north and the south. This further increases tensions leading to the civil war.

the expansion of the rule of empires over other territories took place as a result of several reasons including economic, ethnocentric, political, and religious, and exploratory purposes.

in terms of economic purposes: imperial governments aimed to maximize profits and with that purpose they neeeded cheap labor, access to or control of markets to sell or buy products. they also desired to find natural resources (precious metals and land). in the awake of   industrial revolution, dependent colonies provided the necessary raw materials that european factories and market needed to manufacture products.  

ethnocentric: many territories were conquered by imperial territories in an attempt to spread their cultures, values and belief as they considered them to be superior. in the late 19th century, for example, european powers held   the racist belief that inferior races should be conquered in order to “civilize” them.

political: another reason that drove conquer and expansion was patriotism and growing imperial power. it refers to national prestige, pride, and security. empires sought strategic territory to ensure access for their navies and armies around the world.

religious: the aim of converting new member of other religions was another factor that prompted expansion.   christian missionaries from europe established churches in conquered territories during the nineteenth century. thus, they spread western cultural values. furthermore, the imperial nation’s language was spread as well, through educational and religious interactions.

exploratory: imperial nations or their citizens aimed to explore territory that was unknown to them,   for different purposes including medical or scientific research, however, at the very   beginning, they did it to embark on adventure. furthermore, imperial explorers sought to discover, map, and claim territory before their imperial competition did, for national and personal glory as well as to realize the imperialist goal of expansion.

folds are formed when heat and pressure is applied to the rock. the higher the temperature, the more pliable rocks become. folds are more likely to occur when the deformation caused by the compression is applied slowly. faults are defined as the displacement of rock that were once connected along a fault line.
