Answer 1

The events, arranged in chronological order by their occurrence in history, are: (II) Compromise of 1850, (III) Kansas-Nebraska Act, (IV) Birth of the Republican Party, (V) Bleeding Kansas, (I) Election of Abraham Lincoln. The correct sequence is option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

To list the events in the correct chronological order, we need to understand when each event occurred in history:

1. Compromise of 1850 - A series of legislative measures to address the status of territories acquired during the Mexican-American War and aimed at easing tensions between slave and free states.
2. Birth of the Republican Party - Founded in 1854 by anti-slavery activists, the Republican Party was created in response to the Kansas-Nebraska Act's threat to expand slavery into the western territories.
3. Kansas-Nebraska Act - Passed in 1854, this act allowed the territories of Kansas and Nebraska to decide for themselves whether to allow slavery, effectively repealing the Missouri Compromise.
4. Bleeding Kansas - The period of violence during the settling of the Kansas territory from 1854 to 1859, as pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers attempted to influence the state's decision on slavery.
5. Election of Abraham Lincoln - Abraham Lincoln was elected as the 16th President of the United States in 1860, which led to the secession of several Southern states and eventually the Civil War.

Arranging these events chronologically, we get the correct order:

B) II, III, IV, V, I.
