Explanation:
The statement <em>Tesla even boasted of his early forays into inventing, 'I needed no models, drawings, or experiments. I could picture them all as real in my mind.' </em>best illustrates the power of Tesla's imagination. His mind was all that he needed in the process of invention.

1) Thomas Jefferson's Declaration of Independence- This formal document drafted by Jefferson and others (like Ben Franklin, John Adams) was America's official breakup with the British Empire. This document included a list of rights that citizens should have as well as grievances they had against the British government. After this document was ratified, America would no longer be under the control of Britian. This had a tremendous impact on the Revolutionary War, as America had been tied to England (politically, socially, economically) for over 150 years.
2) Thomas Paine's Common Sense- This pamphlet developed by Thomas Paine discussed numerous reasons as to why America should break up with Britain. Some of his most important ideas include the fact that Britain is thousands of miles away from America and do not fully understand American society. Along with this, Paine thinks that America would have more financial success without being forced to trade with Britain. This had an enormous impact on the Revolutionary War, as it caused citizens to critically examine their relationship with Britain. At this point in time, very few citizens have examined this relationship in depth like Paine did.

<em>Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857)</em> was a landmark decision by the United States Supreme Court. It held that black people whose ancestors were imported into the U.S., whether enslaved of free, could not be American citizens. Therefore, they could not sue in federal court. Moreover, it ruled that the federal government had no power to regulate slavery in the territories acquired after the creation of the United States.
The decision was controversial, and greatly opposed by abolitionist groups. It strengthened the abolitionist movement and may have been a catalyst for the American Civil War.
