1 answer:

5 0

Answer:

The Dred Scott decision was the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on March 6, 1857, that having lived in a free state and territory did not entitle an slaved person, Dred Scott, to his freedom. In essence, the decision argued that, as someone's property, Scott was not a citizen and could not sue in a federal court. The majority opinion by Chief Justice Roger B. Taney also stated that Congress had no power to exclude slavery from the territories (thus invalidating the Missouri Compromise [1820]) and that African Americans could never become U.S. citizens.

Was president roosevelt correct in his belief that a strong military presence promoted global peace?

musickatia [10]

It is mostly true and he was proven to be right in the years to come. Due to being afraid of mutually assured destruction, the cold war never even began with actual troops fighting because they were afraid of each other's strong military presence. Having a strong military means that others won't dare attack you, and you won't dare attack them if they have strong militaries.
