The correct answer is 1) outbreak of the Civil War.

- The Liberator was an abolitionist newspaper. It was different than other abolitionists papers because it focused more on religious matters than in political reasons for abolition.

- The Kansas-Nebraska Act was a bill that created the states of Kansas and Nebraska. This Act was one of the reasons that caused the Civil War because the Act allowed each territory to decide if they wanted slavery or not.

- Dred Scott decision was a decision taken by the U.S Supreme Court in the case Dred Scott v. John F.A. Sandford. The Supreme Court decided that Dred Scott was a slave even though he resided in a free state and free territory. This one of the causes of the Civil War because free states did not agree with the decision and slavery states started to “hunt” slaves in free territory.
