Correct. The answer is B. Slave owners were particularly interested in the prospect of filibustering to acquire new land to expand slavery beyond the southern U.S. border. Especially during the 1840s and 1850s, when northerners began to insist on containing slavery’s spread into the North and West, southerners joined filibustering expeditions with the hope that they could acquire new land for cotton plantations.
