In the 1850s, the north and south strongly disagreed about the production of cotton. the growth of commerce. the diversification of industries. the spread of slavery.

The correct answer is the spread of slavery.

After the Mexican American War (1848) the United States gained several territories in the modern day American Southwest. This includes Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, California, etc. One of the biggest issues was whether or not slavery would exist in these new territories. Determining whether or not slavery would exist in these territories was a controversial issue, as the decision could alter the balance of free and slaves states in Congress.

The North and South will continue to disagree over this topic went it comes to adding Kansas and Nebraska during the 1850's as well.

answer: a

explanation:  

stocks and bonds are the two main classes of assets investors use in their portfolios. stocks offer an ownership stake in a company, while bonds are akin to loans made to a company (a corporate bond) or other organization (like the u.s. treasury). in general, stocks are considered riskier and more volatile than bonds.

savings accounts are just money in a bank- they are insured by the fdic for up to 250,000.   very little risk

the average mutual fund holds hundreds of different securities, which means mutual fund shareholders gain important diversification at a low price. which means if one stock or bond drops it will have very little affect on the mutual fund - again very little risk
