History

Answer:

slavery

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

The most important issue of the case was Dred Scott's status: was he a slave or was he a free man? Dred Scott had been born into slavery, but after moving with his master to Wisconsin Territory, where slavery was not permitted, he effectively had the status of a free man and was thus able to get married. However, Scott did not petition for his freedom, and remained with his master. As his master moved around a lot from place to place, between slave state and free, Scott found himself in the absurd position of being free in one state, but a slave in another. It was important, then, for Scott to establish his precise legal status once and for all.

3. What was the proclamation of 1763? Why were the colonists opposed to it?​
choli [55]

Answer:

The Proclamation of 1763 was an act of British government, according to which it was forbidden for the colonists to settle west of the Appalachian mountains, which they believed it was unjustly, as they fought in the French and Indian war and believed they should be allowed certain benefits, including the possibility to settle new territories.

Explanation:

This Proclamation was brought so that colonists would not enter the conflicts with the Natives.

On the other side, colonists believed that British government is not appreciating enough all the things that they have done.

It was one of the disputes that eventually led to Revolution.

Why did Marshall describe the economy in Europe over the past 10 years as "highly<br> abnormal"?
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

When Secretary of State Marshall accepted an invitation from Harvard University to receive an honorary degree during the first week in June 1947, the State Department informed the president of the Alumni Association that Marshall would make a speech for the afternoon meeting of the Harvard Alumni Association but that Marshall did not want it to be a major speech of the occasion. There were no discussions with representatives of other governments; there were no notifications of the American press that an important speech was to be delivered, and even Harvard President James B. Conant did not expect a major address from General Marshall.

The speech was drafted by Chip Bohlen, a Russia specialist and interpreter who used memoranda from the Director of the Policy Planning Staff George F. Kennan and from Under Secretary of State for Economic Affairs William Clayton. Bohlen especially benefited from Clayton’s graphic oral descriptions of Europe’s situation. In the memorandum he wrote, “Millions of people in the cities are slowly starving,” if the standard of living continued to deteriorate, “there will be revolution.”

On the day of the speech the capacity crowd of 15,000 in Harvard Yard did not expect to see history made but simply to see one of the most admired public servants in America. However when Secretary Marshall began to read his speech there was a recognition that the carefully worded remarks on the political and economic crisis in Europe marked an important event. In that speech, Marshall outlined the need for an economic aid plan to help the devastated nations of Europe and their citizens to recover from the ravages of World War II. When Marshall said, “It is logical that the United States should do whatever it is able to do to assist in the return of normal economic health in the world, without which there can be no political stability and no assured peace,” the Secretary of State committed the United States to consider a European recovery plan that would be developed by the Europeans and presented to the United States. Thus was launched The Marshall Plan for which George C. Marshall would be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

Did James Madison fight in the French and Indian war and if so, what was his role ?
Phantasy [73]

An advocate for a strong federal government, the Virginia-born Madison composed the first drafts of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights and earned the nickname “Father of the Constitution.” In 1792, Madison and Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) founded the Democratic-Republican Party, which has been called America’s first opposition political party. When Jefferson became the third U.S. president, Madison served as his secretary of state. In this role, he oversaw the Louisiana Purchase from the French in 1803. During his presidency, Madison led the U.S. into the controversial War of 1812 (1812-15) against Great Britain. After two terms in the White House, Madison retired to his Virginia plantation, Montpelier, with his wife Dolley (1768-1849).

What conditions shapes the characters of englishment settlements in America.
pantera1 [17]
 <span>The land limitations, terrain, the weather, religious dictates which included rigid roles for men, women and children, wealth and education of individuals before leaving, but they were granted land or had been persecuted. There weren't only British Anglicans here, buy Dutch and German. Each group had differing values and mores. So you have to go back to Protestant religious sects of the time such as Calvinism, also method of governing and maintaining order. Punishment was meted out in ways we would not do today. There was lack of knowledge of medicine so disease could wipe out a population, and for the first settlers, they were aided by the indigenous population and purchased land from them. Then, there was the limitation of the length of time between ordering raw materials and receiving them.</span>
