Correct. The answer is b. As evidence that cotton served as the impetus for the changes that made the South increasingly distinctive from the North during the nineteenth century, the author shows that the growing profitability of cotton cultivation led to a dramatic increase in the region’s slave population. In 1790, when the invention of the cotton gin first made cotton commercially significant, the South had about 700,000 slaves but, as cotton crops produced increasing profits, the Southern slave population grew to 2 million in 1840 and 4 million in 1860.

Correct. The answer is d. The author argues that the growing population of slaves in the South made it increasingly distinctive from the North in the antebellum period by showing that, while slavery kept the South rural and agricultural, the North became increasingly urban and diverse.

To support his claim that cotton cultivation and plantation slavery contributed to the growing economic distinctiveness of the South, the author presents evidence that, while Northerners used cotton profits to diversify the North’s economy, Southerners used cotton profits to expand both cotton cultivation and the plantation system.

Correct. The answer is a. To support his argument that the South’s reliance on slave labor fostered a distinctive southern cultural climate, the author demonstrates that southern writers, clergymen, and academics all concentrated on defenses of the institution of slavery that framed it as a positive good that civilized and supported African Americans.
