Answer 6

Seems to me that you could check at least some of your answers independently, using the Internet. Why not look up "Compromise of 1850?" Bet you'd learn in a hurry what that was about (what its chief goal was). You'd benefit more from doing this checking yourself than from obtaining opinions or possible answers from OpenStudy.
