The correct answer is B. Southern secession

Explanation:

During the 19th century, the tension and conflict between the southern states and the northern states increased in the U.S. One of the main reasons was the position of the states regarding slavery because in the southern states slavery was widely supported.

Due to this, when Abraham Lincoln, a Republican politician, won the 16th Presidential elections with the support of the Northern states, the Southern states decided to secede and create the Confederate States of America. Indeed, the election of Lincoln was a direct cause of the Southern secession because the southern states did not feel represented by Abraham Lincoln and feared slavery was abolished which motivate them to create a new nation. Moreover, the secession led to the beginning of the American Civil War from 1861 to 1865.

explanation: we can only guess at how our actions may be perceived in the future. doing something really big like killing lots of people, saving lots of people, affecting the lives of lots of people is a sure fire way of being remembered in historical records. we can also make a difference in the history records by being a small influence on something bigger, whether that is as a civil servant, scientist or artist.

of course you could argue that we all affect history just as tiny cogs in a   bigger machine.

if you mean how do people influence our opinions of things which have already happened, then simply by writing a book which looks at things form a different perspective and trying to convince people that this perspective is more accurate or truthful. people do it all the time i.e. richard the third was a terrible or was he? plenty would disagree, it's just that their views aren't the most widely known.n:
