c. the freeport doctrine.
b. the slaveholder's rights.
d. douglas's doctrine.

The correct answer is C) the Freeport Doctrine.

Douglas's stand that people could exclude slavery by refusing to pass laws protecting slaveholders' rights came to be known as Freeport Doctrine.

This was the position Democrat Senator Stephen A. Douglass took during his second debate with Republican Abraham Lincoln in Freeport, Illinois, onAugust 27, 1858. Douglas said that slavery could be legally prohibited from the territories if states' Congress rejected slavey. Without enforcement of the laws, slavery could be prohibited.

one of the main reasons was definitely slavery. back in 1861, republican abraham lincoln was elected and ended up being a major influence in the slavery business. slavery greatly affected the texas economy because back in 1845 during the annexation of texas, slaves became a big part of the texas population. many texans that were in favor of the secession influenced groups through party ties.
