The main point of this excerpt is that African-Americans were not considered US citizens.

In the Supreme Court case Dred Scott vs. Sandford, Scott is suing for his freedom from slavery. This is because his master brought him to the Wisconsin territory, a territory where slavery was outlawed.

However, the Supreme Court ruled against him. The reason why they ruled against him is based on the excerpt above. The Declaration of Independence did not make it blatantly clear that slaves were considered citizens. Since they were not considered citizens, they had no legal rights that slave owners had to respect.

The GI Bill of Rights was passed in 1944, and it encouraged veterans to go back to school. It gave them money to go back to school if they wanted to. So, I would say that the answer would be C. It provided financial aid for veterans going to college. Hope this helps! :)

Answer: George W. Young who was likely a slaveholder

Explanation:

The text presented is an advertisement that offers a reward to capture Sophia Gordon. About this woman, it is explained she is a runaway (term to refer to slaves that scaped), and also, she is "copper color", which confirms she is a black woman who likely scaped from her slaveholder. Moreover, at the end of the document, the author explains "I will give the above reward", which shows the author of this document is the slaveholder looking for Sophia. Additionally, the name George W. Young was added at the end, which is likely is the name of the slaveholder. According to this, the person who placed the advertisement is the slaveholder George W. Young
