Good afternoon!

Answer: Slavery was a point of contention in the United States since the country's founding. The disagreement intensified as the 1800s began. In 1820, the Missouri Compromise established a boundary that wouldn't allow new slave states above this line. Dred Scott had been taken by his owner to an area in which slavery had been made illegal because of the Missouri Compromise.

Answer:

His travels and residences in free areas.

Explanation:

The case <em>Dred Scott v. Sanford</em> was a landmark decision of the Supreme Court. In this case, Dred Scott, an enslaved black man, sued in court for his freedom. He argued that his owners had taken him from Missouri into the Missouri Territory, which was a "free" territory. The court ruled that Scott could not sue in court as he was not considered an American citizen due to his African ancestry, regardless of whether he was a slave or not.

How did the mexican government feel about the annexation of texas by the united states?

Shalnov [3]

Though Texas wanted to be annexed and had voted within their independent nation to become a part of the US, Mexico had still not settled Texan independence and therefore was upset by the US's move to annex Texas. There were many boundaries unsettled after the Texan Revolution and this will lead to issues between Mexico and the US in determining the border. These border disputes coupled with contempt for US actions will lead to the Mexican-American War in 1846. This war will end with Mexico losing all of what is now the SW of the US in 1848 under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.
