What was the status of Dred Scott while living in the free state of Illinois?

History

Savatey [412]3 years ago
6 0

Technically he could be considered to be a freedman, because Illinois outlawed slavery. However, the Supreme Court ruled that his time spent in Illinois didn't change the fact that he remained a slave after his master died, so he was not empancipated, and thus was still a slave.


The answer is D: He was a slave.

brilliants [131]

Answer:

Florence Nightingale pointed out that the famines in British India were not caused by the lack of food in a particular geographical area. They were instead caused by inadequate transportation of food, which in turn was caused due to the absence of a political and social structure.

Analyzing Why do you think having three separate branches of government was a persuasive argument for ratifying the Constitution
OleMash [197]

Answer:

The fact of having three separate branches of government was a persuasive argument for the ratification of the Constitution because, through the differentiation of the executive, legislative and judicial powers, the creation of tyrannical or totalitarian governments became very difficult. Thus, American citizens were guaranteed the permanent validity of their individual liberties and civil rights, which could not be curtailed or limited by dictatorial rulers, as the republican system itself establishes a system of checks and balances that allows members of the a specific branch to control the rest.

What was true about the 13 amendment
shutvik [7]

Answer:

The 13th amendment, which formally abolished slavery in the United States, passed the Senate on April 8, 1864, and the House on January 31, 1865. On February 1, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln approved the Joint Resolution of Congress submitting the proposed amendment to the state legislatures. The necessary number of states ratified it by December 6, 1865. The 13th amendment to the United States Constitution provides that "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

In 1863 President Lincoln had issued the Emancipation Proclamation declaring “all persons held as slaves within any State, or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free.” Nonetheless, the Emancipation Proclamation did not end slavery in the nation. Lincoln recognized that the Emancipation Proclamation would have to be followed by a constitutional amendment in order to guarantee the abolishment of slavery.

The 13th amendment was passed at the end of the Civil War before the Southern states had been restored to the Union and should have easily passed the Congress. Although the Senate passed it in April 1864, the House did not. At that point, Lincoln took an active role to ensure passage through congress. He insisted that passage of the 13th amendment be added to the Republican Party platform for the upcoming Presidential elections. His efforts met with success when the House passed the bill in January 1865 with a vote of 119–56.

With the adoption of the 13th amendment, the United States found a final constitutional solution to the issue of slavery. The 13th amendment, along with the 14th and 15th, is one of the trio of Civil War amendments that greatly expanded the civil rights of Americans.
