Explanation:

1. For the first question: Based on U.S. historical geography of slavery, the majority of states allowing slavery were located in the South, as seen in the 1820 Missouri Compromise map.
2. For the second question: As the U.S. expanded westward, pro-slavery states extended into the southern western regions, matching the 1861 pre-Civil War map.
3. For the connection question: Manifest Destiny drove westward expansion, which forced debates over whether new territories would allow slavery. This deepened the divide between pro-slavery Southern and anti-slavery Northern regions, fueling sectionalism as each side fought to maintain political power in Congress by controlling new states' slavery status.

Answer:

1. C. South
2. South West
3. Manifest Destiny and sectionalism are deeply connected: Westward expansion (driven by Manifest Destiny) created conflicts over whether new territories would permit slavery. This split the nation along regional lines—Southern states pushed for slavery expansion to preserve political power, while Northern states opposed it, worsening sectional divides that ultimately led to the Civil War.
