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.

how would you define the term "massacre"? How many people have to die in order for an event to be called a "massacre".
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Explanation:

Massacre: an indiscriminate and brutal slaughter of people.

“an indiscriminate and brutal slaughter of many people” Many is of course “A large quantity”. So there we have it, certainly more than a couple but if it gets to be say 100,000, which is definitely a large number, I suspect that might be encroaching into the realms of genocide.

OK so if you happen upon a car crash and there are bodies spread over the scene, 2 from each of the 2 cars, then you would immediately spot, just by looking there were 4 people involved, but if it was a pair of coaches each with 52 passengers and they were all spread around the scene you wouldn’t be able to put a number to it by just sweeping your eyes across the mess, perhaps then it is getting to be a massacre. Could that be a useful definition? If the number slaughtered is more than you can estimate merely with a look? I also think it needs to be within a definable area, like a football field, or a stadium or perhaps a town. If it involved a whole region of a country then it becomes Genocide, maybe.

Could it be then The indiscriminate and brutal slaughter of more people within a definable area than you can estimate readily with a sweep of your eyes.

Just a suggestion, so go gently on me ………….

The correct answer is B. The americas


The Americas provided raw materials that were taken to Europe. Europeans manufactured goods from these materials and traded them to Africans in exchange for slaves. Slaves were then taken to the Americas to get new raw materials. That's how the triangle worked.

What dont the maya and inca not have in common?
SashulF [63]
Both the Maya and the Inca had similar social stuctures;

men and women were to be considered close to equal, though, in some instinces, women were still lesser to men. Both drained swamps and carved terraces for agriculture, which they depended on heavily, like all other ancient civilizations in the Americas.

The Maya and Inca both shared a similar calender system, though, the Inca calender was a bit more complicated, and both civilizations built great stone monuments.

Plus, they practiced metallurgy, sacraficial rituals, and polytheism
