Question 3 • (AG Q3) American History 8: 25-26 (AHostetler)

Which of the following were included in the Republican Party’s platform for the 1860 election?

Answer
A
seceding from the United States
B
stopping slavery’s spread in the United States
C
introducing slavery to the North
D
preventing people from settling in the West

Explanation

The Republican Party’s 1860 platform opposed the extension of slavery into the U.S. territories. It did not call for secession or introducing slavery in the North, and it did not aim to prevent western settlement. Therefore, the correct choice is “stopping slavery’s spread in the United States.”
