How did sectional tensions impact the country between 1848 - 1860 ? Can I please get a paragraph for this question

I can’t exactly give a full paragraph because you would probably just copy it but I can give you some ideas for sentences.

Some states had more plantations using slave labor, so they would want to join the confederacy, meaning that the north would try to keep them back. You could elaborate on which states were affected by this and why. Hope this helps.

Explanation: I’m assuming you mean the US.

your answer will most likely be a.

im going to go with b.
