Solution

The correct option is B The sack of Lawrence by pro-slavery men
“Bleeding Kansas” became a fact with the Sack of Lawrence (May 21, 1856), in which a pro-slavery mob swarmed into the town of Lawrence and wrecked and burned the hotel and newspaper office in an effort to wipe out this “hotbed of abolitionism.”
