And fast (use two examples) some historians say that the attacks by the abolitionist actually strengthened sectionalism in the south instead of weakening it. how might the abolitionist have been contributing to the tension arising over slavery? provide two specific example of the southern response to the aboltitonist attacks.

Some historians say that attacks by abolitionists strengthened sectionalism in the south instead of weakening it. Sectionalism can be defined as a strong loyalty to a region (the South in this case) as opposed to the nation the region belongs to. Many southerners felt more loyal to the Southern way of life, that was dependent upon slavery, instead of thinking about the good of other citizens of the country.

Abolitionists might have been contributing to the tension arising over slavery by: distributing anti-slavery pamphlets and newspapers condemning slavery (and those who support it) as evil and immoral. This was done to shame those in favor of slavery, many of whom claimed to be Christians, adding to tensions in the United States south. Another way abolitionists fanned the flames of tension surrounding slavery was by supporting rebellions, such as the slave rebellion led by Nat Turner, that resulted in the death of men, women, and children.

Two specific examples of the southern response to the abolitionist’s attacks were state laws meant to control free blacks and slaves restricting the right to assemble (or gather) and the right to bear arms (or own weapons); inciting hysteria with militias and mobs executing and killing large numbers of blacks that had nothing to do with the rebellions to create fear and to suppress the abolitionist movement.  

the money supply is the total amount of money available in the economy. how do changes in the money supply affect people and businesses?

marginal cost is a microeconomic measure that us to evaluate the extent to which the level of production of a good is sustainable in accounting, that is, to how many quantities the company plans to profit from the production of the good.

the concept of marginal cost is simple, it means the cost of producing one more item. for example, in the case of pies, the marginal cost is the cost of producing one more pie than those that have already been produced.

it is important to understand that productive activity influences marginal cost. the marginal cost of some goods can be very high, while others may be insignificant. for example, the marginal cost of producing an extra plane is very high. already the marginal cost of a water company to provide 1l more water is derisory.

in the case of pies, the cost involves the inputs, the labor and the fixed cost, which involves the fixed space of the bakery. the level of production initially has the marginal cost decreasing because there is space and manpower available. however, to produce more you have to hire more workers and buy more inputs. if physical space is limited, workers will conflict with places, inputs and their productivity will decrease, meaning there is an optimum point of production for each level of space and manpower. from this point on, the productivity of the workers will be getting smaller because of lack of space, so that the marginal cost of producing one more pie will be increasing. so, although you have not posted the chart, but if you have the answer, you can see that my explanation goes according to the marginal cost curve that will increase from the 4th pie, answer (c).
