Question
The antebellum (pre-Civil War) Republican Party was associated with all of the following EXCEPTGroup of answer choicesWidespread support in states north of the Ohio RiverAbraham Lincoln’s candidacy in the 1860 U.S. presidential electionFamily-run cotton farmsOpposition to the establishment of slavery in the territory acquired from Mexico in 1848
Solution
The antebellum Republican Party was not associated with family-run cotton farms. This is because the Republican Party, particularly in the years leading up to the Civil War, was largely based in the industrialized North and was opposed to the expansion of slavery, which was the labor force for the cotton farms in the South. The other options - widespread support in states north of the Ohio River, Abraham Lincoln’s candidacy in the 1860 U.S. presidential election, and opposition to the establishment of slavery in the territory acquired from Mexico in 1848 - are all associated with the antebellum Republican Party.
