Explanation:

1. The necessity of the cotton industry led to a booming of slave ownership, although with a mix of import from Africa and higher birth rates in the slave population. African-American population would boom in the South, and would represent in many cases more than 60% of the population (for each white three blacks)

2. The city was the center of cotton and slave trade due to the location near the Missisipi, and also due to the status as capital of the state of Tennesse.

3. It referred to the fact that the crop was the best way to become wealthy, as cotton was the primary export of the South, and at the time, one of the engines of the Industrial Revolution.

4. Slavery was seen as a economic necessity in the South, and until the Second Awakening, the moral issue did not leverage on the institution. Therefore, the first reason of abolitionism was the economic danger posed by slavery, and the growing dependance of the South in it.

5. I would be an abolitionist speech, specially after the Second Awakening, when moral justification for slavery was attacked,

These spark outrages from every corner of US society, but not in the Southern slave states, thus litting the fire that would explode with the Civil War.

9. It was the name given to the territory that Mexico would give, via the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo in 1848.
