The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although the question is incomplete because it doesn't include the table with the listed items, we can say the following.

Some historical events that increased tensions between the North and the South were the following.

1.- The Compromise of 1850. This legislation tried to solve the territorial disputes of the big portion of land acquired by the United States after its victory in the Mexican-American War. Of course, the southern states wanted to expand slavery in these new territories but the northern states completely opposed.

2.- The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854. Allowed both states to decide by popular vote if they wanted to be free or slavery states. This increased the confrontation between the North and the South.

3.- Bleeding Kansas. That decision generated so much violence between people that supported slavery against people that supported abolition. In 1856, people from both states increased attacks and violence.
