Answer:
Florida and Arkansas
Explanation:
When it was announced that Michigan would be applying for statehood as a free state, Sevier knew the abolitionists would have a numerical advantage in the U.S.
In 1850, four states were admitted into the U.S. and they were admitted as:
- Arkansas and Florida ⇒ Slave states
- Iowa and Michigan ⇒ Free states
In 1850, arguments about the institution of slavery had become very heated and neither side wanted the other side to have more representation in Congress.
When Iowa and Michigan joined as free states, the Southerners then pushed for Arkansas and Florida to join as slave states so that those who were against slavery would not outnumber them.
In conclusion, the states were admitted as either free states or slave states.
