Your answers are mostly correct, but there are a few corrections I would suggest:
1. The correct answer for the first question is C, not D. The Missouri Compromise allowed voters to decide on whether to allow slavery in their state or territory, which helped maintain a balance of power in the Senate between the North and the South.
2. The correct answer for the second question is B, not A. The Compromise of 1850 led to tensions between northerners and southerners because voters south of the original Missouri Compromise line lost more slave territory to the North with the addition of New Mexico and Utah.
3. The correct answer for the third question is B, not C. The significance of the Free-Soil Party in the election of 1848 was that the new political party called for a ban on slavery in the new territories, which showed that slavery had become a national issue.
4. The correct answer for the fourth question is C, not B. Uncle Tom's Cabin did not fail to change the attitude of Southerners about slavery because they claimed it did not give a true picture of slavery in the South.
5. The correct answer for the fifth question is A, not C. As the leader of the Republican Party, Lincoln expressed his views on slavery during the debates of 1858, not the Fugitive Slave Act.
6. The correct answer for the sixth question is A, not C. The disagreement between Stephen Douglas and Abraham Lincoln was that Douglas wanted to allow territories to decide on slavery using popular sovereignty, while Lincoln was opposed to allowing slavery in the territories.
7. The correct answer for the seventh question is A, not B. The Dred Scott v. Sandford decision angered Northerners because it stated Congress did not have the power to outlaw slavery in any territory, not because it sought to continue the Missouri Compromise answer to slavery.
