6 0

The Dred Scott decision, or lawsuit as you put it, was a case where it was stated by the court that people of African descent could not be American citizens and had no standing in court. They, whether free or not, had no power to regulate slavery in the United States. His rights have been violated for many reasons. He was accused of standing in court for just being black. It was very unconstitutional and found by many historians as one of the worst Supreme Court decisions ever made.

What event inspired the revival of the ku klux klan

NNADVOKAT [17]

<u>The Birth of a Nation was a film that triggered the revival of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1910s and 1920s. </u>Its original name was "the Clansman". It was released in 1915.

The film is set during the American Civil War and the Reconstruction Era, and tells the story of two families: one pro-Union and the other pro-Confederacy.

The film was a commercial success but it was also very polemic because of the manner in which black men were portrayed as unintelligent and sexually aggressive towards white women, and because it represented the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) as a heroic force. Such image presented, inspired the revival of the KKK.
