a. Things to think about:
b. Compromises of the time
c. Issues between North & South
d. Events that caused compromise to be necessary

Answer 1

Hello there!

The correct answer is C) Issues between North and South.

Explanation:

The efficiency of the achievement of the goals of political compromise during the period of 1820-1861 was considered ineffective. It did not reduce sectional tensions which lead to the political unrest between northern and southern states, causing the Civil War as the main outcome.

Compromises relating slavery, economical issues, and states' rights such as the Missouri Compromise and the Compromise of 1850 were created to please the Northern and Southern states, but these were not enough to free their differences and lead to a Civil War.
