History

Answer:

The correct answer is the first option: "He was a slave who argued he was free".

Explanation:

In 1846, this man argued that both he and his wife Harriet lived for 4 years in Illinois and Wisconsin where slavery was illegal and therefore considered that they should be released.  This demand is made because he did not have the money to buy his freedom.

The United States Supreme Court ruled against Scott and also established that no person with an African heritage could have the right to citizenship. In that moment, the Supreme Court also states that Congress cannot prohibit slavery in federal territories.

At present, many people describe this historical event as an attack on human dignity since by 1850, slavery on the American continent had been eliminated almost entirely.

Answer:

Hope this information helps! If it doesn't, let me know and I will answer it better

Explanation:

Galveston (/ˈɡælvɪstən/ GAL-vis-tən) is a coastal resort city and port off the southeast coast on Galveston Island and Pelican Island in the U.S. state of Texas. The community of 209.3 square miles (542 km2), with a population of 47,743 in 2010,[4] is the county seat of surrounding Galveston County and second-largest municipality in the county. It is also within the Houston–The Woodlands–Sugar Land metropolitan area at its southern end on the northwestern coast of the Gulf of Mexico.

Galveston, or Galvez' town, was named after the Spanish military and political leader in the 18th century: Bernardo de Gálvez y Madrid, Count of Gálvez (1746–1786), who was born in Macharaviaya, Málaga, in the Kingdom of Spain. Galveston's first European settlements on the Galveston Island were built around 1816 by French pirate Louis-Michel Aury to help the fledgling Republic of Mexico fight for independence from Spain, along with other colonies in the Western Hemisphere of the Americas in Central and South America in the 1810s and 1820s. The Port of Galveston was established in 1825 by the Congress of Mexico following its independence from Spain. The city was the main port for the fledgling Texas Navy during the Texas Revolution of 1836, and later served temporarily as the new national capital of the Republic of Texas.

Answer:

Option: Denial of graduate school admission to an African American student.

Explanation:  

George McLaurin denied admission to the University of Oklahoma to pursue a degree (Doctor of Education). He refused because a law banned mixed schools. At last, he got admission when he sued the Univesity. After getting into Univesity to pursue education, he was isolated and forced to use different facilities in Univesity. The Supreme Court saw it as a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th amendment based on race.
