The U.S. Supreme Court hands down its decision on Sanford v. Dred Scott, a case that intensified national divisions over the issue of slavery.

In 1834, Dred Scott, a slave, had been taken to Illinois, a free state, and then Wisconsin territory, where the Missouri Compromise of 1820 prohibited slavery. Scott lived in Wisconsin with his master, Dr. John Emerson, for several years before returning to Missouri, a slave state. In 1846, after Emerson died, Scott sued his master’s widow for his freedom on the grounds that he had lived as a resident of a free state and territory. He won his suit in a lower court, but the Missouri supreme court reversed the decision. Scott appealed the decision, and as his new master, J.F.A. Sanford, was a resident of New York, a federal court decided to hear the case on the basis of the diversity of state citizenship represented. After a federal district court decided against Scott, the case came on appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, which was divided along slavery and antislavery lines; although the Southern justices had a majority.

During the trial, the antislavery justices used the case to defend the constitutionality of the Missouri Compromise, which had been repealed by the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854. The Southern majority responded by ruling on March 6, 1857, that the Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional and that Congress had no power to prohibit slavery in the territories. Three of the Southern justices also held that African Americans who were slaves or whose ancestors were slaves were not entitled to the rights of a federal citizen and therefore had no standing in court. These rulings all confirmed that, in the view of the nation’s highest court, under no condition did Dred Scott have the legal right to request his freedom. The Supreme Court’s verdict further inflamed the irrepressible differences in America over the issue of slavery, which in 1861 erupted with the outbreak of the American Civil War.

Kung ikaw ay bibigyan ng pagkakataong makapamili ng lugar na titirhan, anong mas pipiliin mo, ang manirahan sa
Serggg [28]

Answer:

Totoo na ang lungsod ay nag-aalok ng napakaraming oportunidad at kapakinabangan na wala sa kanayunan. Halimbawa, ang modernong transportasyon at sistema ng komunikasyon ay mas mahusay sa anumang lungsod kumpara sa isang nayon. Sa isang lungsod may access sa maraming iba't ibang sistema ng transportasyon at may pinakabagong teknolohiya upang makipag-ugnayan; tulad ng cellular telepono, internet, fax atbp. Bukod dito, kapag ang isang bagong teknolohiya ay dumating sa bansa ito ay unang ipinakilala sa lungsod at karaniwang 2/3 taon mamaya sa nayon. Pangalawa, ang mga lungsod ay nagbibigay ng mas mahusay na seguridad sa mga naninirahan tulad ng mga mobile pulis patrols, espesyal na pwersa, pulis ng komunidad, seguridad, mga bantay sa trapiko. Ngunit sa nayon, ang bilang ng mga pwersang pangseguridad ay masyadong mababa kumpara sa kabuuang populasyon. Bukod pa rito, ang mga lungsod ay nagbibigay ng mas mahusay na paggamot, ospital, kwalipikadong doktor, mas mahusay na mga institusyong pang-edukasyon, at amusement parke atbp na talagang hindi maiiwasang mamuno sa mas magandang buhay. Sa maraming pagkakataon, ang mga pasilidad na iyon ay wala o bihira sa isang nayon. Sa aking opinyon, ang dahilan kung bakit ang karamihan sa mga tao ay may posibilidad na manirahan sa isang lungsod ang malawak na oportunidad ng mga trabaho. Karamihan sa mga corporate opisina, industriya, pabrika, opisina ng gobyerno, garments at manufacturing industriya ay maaaring nakatayo sa isang lungsod o malapit sa lungsod. Mas maraming pagkakataon ang mga tao sa trabaho sa isang lungsod kaysa sa isang nayon. Sa kabilang banda, ang mga taong naninirahan sa isang nayon, ay kadalasang napipilitang gumawa ng trabaho na hindi angkop para sa kanya dahil napakakitid ng oportunidad sa trabaho. Muli, ang mga paaralan o kolehiyo ay hindi bang mayroong mas mahusay na kapaligiran, mga lab, guro at kung bakit ang mga mag-aaral sa isang nayon ay maaaring hindi makakuha ng mas magandang edukasyon siya. Kung isasaalang-alang natin ang mga pasilidad ng libangan sa isang lungsod pagkatapos ay may napakaraming pagpipilian tulad ng teatro, parke, art gallery, museo, library parke, library atbp. Ngunit ang mga tao sa mga nayon ay mayroon lamang TV o mga libro at napakaliit na pasilidad para makasukat ng oras.
