Answer 1

To match the provided responses to the appropriate input, here’s how you can categorize them:

1. Geography caused country to develop economic differences - This can refer to the overall differences between regional economies influenced by geography, such as the agricultural South versus the industrial North.

2. North and South agreed; California became a free state; strict fugitive slave law was passed - This should correspond to the Compromise of 1850, which aimed to settle disputes regarding slavery in the newly acquired territories.

3. Attempted to solve the issue of slavery through popular sovereignty; violence erupted as a result of the law - This aligns with the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which allowed states to decide on the legality of slavery through popular vote, leading to conflict known as "Bleeding Kansas."

4. Ruled slaves were property and not citizens - This refers to the Dred Scott Decision (Dred Scott v. Sandford), where the U.S. Supreme Court declared that African Americans could not be American citizens and thus had no standing to sue in federal court.

Place them in the inputs according to these explanations.
