Explanation:

Question 26:

Both slavery and indentured servitude involve labor - providing arrangements. However, slaves are considered property with no rights, while indentured servants work for a set period to pay off a debt and gain freedom at the end of the term.

Question 27:

The cotton gin, invented by Eli Whitney, increased the demand for cotton. This led to an increased demand for slave labor in the American South as more slaves were needed to grow and pick the cotton.

Question 28 (Taking Louisiana Purchase as an example):

The Louisiana Purchase in 1803 doubled the size of the United States. It opened up new lands for settlement, spurred westward migration, and led to debates over the expansion of slavery into new territories as settlers moved in.

Question 29 (Taking Uncle Tom's Cabin as an example):

Uncle Tom's Cabin, written by Harriet Beecher Stowe, was a best - selling novel that humanized the plight of slaves. It increased anti - slavery sentiment in the North and infuriated the South, further polarizing the nation on the issue of slavery.

Question 30 (Assuming no reference sheet is available, but a general example):

For example, Pennsylvania was likely a free state. Evidence includes its early abolitionist sentiment and the fact that it was part of the free - state region in the North. South Carolina was likely a slave state, as it had a large plantation - based economy that relied heavily on slave labor for cotton and rice production.

Answer:

Question 26:

Similarity: Both involve labor provision. Difference: Slaves are property, indentured servants have a set - term contract for debt repayment.

Question 28:

Louisiana Purchase; doubled the US size, spurred westward migration and slavery - related debates in new territories.

Question 29:

Uncle Tom's Cabin; increased anti - slavery sentiment in the North and angered the South.

Question 30:

Pennsylvania: Free state; early abolitionist sentiment, in the North. South Carolina: Slave state; plantation - based economy relying on slave labor.
