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.

How did Wilson's Progressivism differ from his two immediate predecessors?
Arada [10]
Woodrow Wilson differed from Teddy Roosevelt and William Howard Taft in a couple different ways. For example, Wilson was in favor of lowering tariffs (aka taxes on imported goods) while Taft was in favor of higher tariffs. Wilson was different than Teddy in the sense that Wilson wanted to break up all trusts. Roosevelt, on the other hand, wanted to break up only the trusts he deemed bad. This shows that even though they were all Progressives, Wilson had a little different idea of how America should be run compared to Taft and Roosevelt.

Answer:

It has come to our attention that someone has been taking extra supplies out of the supply closet for some time now, and this is NOT allowed. The office manager has said that if it continues to happen we will have to put up security cameras, and this will come out of the office budget, therefore, our paycheck! Please make sure that you are only using what is being budgeted for your department.
