Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Because it was to be decided slave state or free state by popular sovereignty, meaning the people living there would choose. That lead to fighting because it was the tiebreaker between pro-slavery and anti-slavery states, whichever got the state would overpower the other side in congress, (more states=more votes). Which would inevitably end in a slave country or a free country.
