The georgia platform succeeded in saving the union from collapse by a) quieting radicals who wanted to secede after the compromise of 1850. b) balancing the number of slave states with the number of free states. c) threatening a civil war if the north decided to secede from the union. d)

The correct answer is A.

There were many Southerners in the decades before the Civil War who preferred disunion over the concessions on slavery. These radicals, known as fire-eaters, called on the South to reject the Compromise of 1850 as an assault on the constitutional right of slavery. The Georgia Platform was prepared to respond to events , having established a provision for a speciaal convention to deliberate alternatives; the convention would be a testament to the skill and moderation of a handful  of Georgia statesmen.

Howell Cobb, Alexander Stephens and Robert Toombs represented Georgia in Congress  and wielded a great ideal of political influence within the state. Their roles in these events not only aided the passage of the Compromise of 1850 but also ensured the defeat of the radical secessionists in Georgia. The culmination of their efforts was the Georgia Platform.  

The correct answer is A. Giorgia accepts a commitment in 1850 to keep the Union united, however they demand that the North must follow the law of Fugitive Slaves and must allow slavery to grow or separate. The radicals are Republican congressmen from the North who supported citizenship and the punishment of African-Americans.
