Answer:

The Correct Answer Is: Roger B. Taney

Explanation:

In 1835, after Democrats took control of the Senate, Jackson appointed Taney to succeed John Marshall on the Supreme Court as Chief Justice. Taney would preside over a jurisprudential shift toward states' rights, but the Taney Court did not reject federal authority to the degree that many of Taney's critics had feared. By the early 1850s, he was widely respected, and some elected officials looked to the Supreme Court to settle the national debate over slavery. Though he did not own slaves himself, Taney was outraged by Northern attacks on slavery, and he sought to use the Dred Scott decision to permanently remove slavery as a subject of national debate. His broad ruling deeply angered many Northerners and strengthened the anti-slavery Republican Party, and Republican Abraham Lincoln won the 1860 presidential election.

What would have been the outcome of WWII in Europe if the US had been truly neutral? Would the result have been to the nation’s
Anna35 [415]

There is a great possibility that the end result of the war was different. For the entry of the United States into the war for victory was providential. If the United States had not entered, perhaps we would live in a different world now, if we consider the importance of the American entry into the war and all of its power in helping its allies to win.

Explain how the mountain ranges affected the way people lived in the americas
Anna [14]

Answer:

Mountains can be very difficult to cross. They are often rugged and filled with forests and wild animals, such as bears and wolves. They may have no natural 'passes,' or easy places to cross the mountains. Mountains can also be hard to climb or may have ice or snow or glaciers that make travel dangerous.

Explanation:

All this means that crossing over mountains - to trade goods or to fight a war - can be tough to do. Sometimes, people who live surrounded by mountains feel very isolated from the world around them. It is just too difficult to cross over to other lands.

How did Ida B. Wells respond to the question of race relations?
Afina-wow [57]
Ida B. Wells was a firm believer that many of the tactics used by whites against blacks, such as violent intimidation and lynching, was used purely to keep the black population from advancing socially and economically, and therefore advocated heavily for black and women suffrage in the hopes of eventually being able to change the laws.
