During the Antebellum period, many African Americans in the north defended their freedom and responded eagerly to the cause of abolitionism.

In the history of the United States, the Antebellum period is considered the time between the War of 1812 and the beginning of the Civil War in 1861. During this period, different ideas and beliefs separated the Northern States from the Southern States. Of course, the issue of slavery was part of the differences. The Southern States supported slavery because they depended on slaves to produce crops in the southern plantations. On the other hand, the Northern States supported abolitionism.

when studying cause and effect, historians usually group the causes into different categories. for example, cultural causes reflect how a society’s literature and art convey the way the society saw itself in relation to the rest of the world. another resource that historians use to understand society is pop culture, which tells them the trends and ideas that are preferred by the common people. when studying cause and effect, it’s important to remember multiple causation, or the idea that an effect could have several causes and vice versa.  

the correct option is “cultural causes” since art and literature are related to the culture of a place. culture is determined by literature, art, music.

the correct option is “pop culture” since it reflects the likes and ideas of common people whereas the rest of the options do not focus on common people.  

the correct option is “multiple causation” since it refers to the idea that events are caused by multiple reasons, not just a single one.
