A correct

To determine how westward expansion affected slavery in the United States between 1820 and 1850, you need to analyze the information provided in the chart.

Option A suggests that the slave population roughly doubled as several new slave states were admitted to the union. To verify this, you will need to examine historical data on the number of slaves and the admission of new states during the given time period.

Option B claims that the slave population decreased as the U.S. economy became less dependent on agriculture. To investigate this, you would need to analyze data regarding the U.S. economy and its reliance on agriculture during that time.

Option C suggests that the slave population remained roughly the same as the new states admitted to the union were largely free. To determine the accuracy of this statement, you would need to examine whether the newly admitted states were actually free or slave states.

Option D states that the slave population remained roughly the same but its percentage of the total population skyrocketed. To evaluate this claim, you would need to compare the numbers of slaves and the total population during the specified years.

By researching historical data, examining population statistics, and analyzing the status of newly admitted states, you can determine which option accurately explains how westward expansion affected slavery in the United States between 1820 and 1850.
