It is like Nixon said, "no event in American history is more misunderstood than the Vietnam War." I can't give a clear answer but I do have some food for thought which may paint a big picture.
1. You have to keep in mind that Vietnam was not about who killed more troops.
If the winner of the Vietnam war was declared by who killed more troops than the U.S. would win hands down. The U.S. casualties were roughly half a million, where as the Vietcong suffered a little more than a million. Then how did we lose?
2. Keep in mind that at this time technology has improved and Vietnam is the first war where people are watching it go on right at home on there television screen.
They are seeing their sons being shot and viewing dead soldiers every single day.
You did not see this in WW1 or WW2 or the Korena War.
The correct answer is C) A slave was not a citizen but rather the property of an owner.
The Dred Scott vs. Sandford case revolved around the claims of Dred Scott, a black man who was a slave. This man argued that he should be free, as his owner brought him into the Illnois territory were slavery was prohibited. Essentially, Scott argued that his living in this territory should make him free.
However, the Supreme Court ruled against Scott. The majority opinion discussed how slaves are property and that they have no rights in which white men need to respect. This controversial case caused a huge division in American society.

Abraham Lincoln vetoed the Wade-Davis Bill of 1864 because he felt it imposed a harsh punishment on the Confederate states that rebelled from the Union. Radical Republicans proposed the bill to punish the Southern states during the Reconstruction phase after the Civil War ended.
