D. The number of enslaved people living in the country increased.

During the early to mid-19th century, the United States experienced significant population growth, primarily due to natural increase and immigration. The country's population more than doubled between 1800 and 1850, from around 5 million to over 12 million. However, the number of enslaved people living in the country also increased significantly during this period, as the institution of slavery expanded and the slave trade continued. By 1860, there were over 4 million enslaved people living in the United States, mostly in the southern states.
