increasing tensions, 1850-1860
supreme court decision on dred scott case
expansion of slavery into western territories through popular sovereignty.
presidential election of 1860
secession

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each event:

1. Supreme Court decision on Dred Scott case

• The Dred Scott decision ruled that enslaved people were not citizens and that Congress couldn’t ban slavery in territories. This upheld slavery, angering Northern States (opposed to slavery’s expansion) and pleasing Southern States. So mark Northern States.

2. Expansion of slavery into Western territories through popular sovereignty

• Popular sovereignty let territories vote on slavery. Southerners (pro - slavery) supported it as a way to expand slavery, while Northern abolitionists/anti - slavery groups were angered. So mark Northern States? Wait, no—wait, popular sovereignty was a compromise, but Southerners wanted slavery’s expansion, Northerners (many) opposed. Wait, actually, the idea of letting territories decide could be seen as a way that Southerners hoped to expand slavery, so Northerners (who wanted to limit slavery) would be angered. Wait, maybe I got it wrong. Wait, the Kansas - Nebraska Act (popular sovereignty) led to Bleeding Kansas, with Northern and Southern settlers clashing. So Northerners (anti - slavery) were angered by the possibility of slavery expanding. So mark Northern States? Wait, no—Southern states wanted slavery to expand, so the expansion via popular sovereignty would be more acceptable to Southerners, and Northerners (who wanted to restrict slavery) would be angered. So Northern States.

3. Presidential election of 1860

• Lincoln (anti - slavery, Republican) won, with no Southern electoral votes. Southern states saw this as a threat to slavery, so they were angered. So mark Southern States.

4. Secession

• After Lincoln’s election, Southern states seceded. Northern states (pro - Union) were angered by secession (seeing it as treason/breaking the Union), while Southern states supported secession. So mark Northern States.

Now, to fill the table:
