Which word best describes Congress' handling of slavery prior to the Dred Scott Decision?

History
1 answer:
xenn [34]3 years ago
6 0

The correct answer is D) Compromise.

Congress was constantly trying to find ways to "solve" the issue of slavery in American society. It first started with the Missouri Compromise. This established that the institution of slavery would not exist north of the 36'30 for any new states added during the era of westward expansion. However, this would not last forever as the adding of California after the Mexican-American War became a problem. This is because the 36'30 cut the state into two parts and the US did not want a half free half slave state.

This resulted in the creation of the Compromise of 1850. However, this law would not solve the issue of slavery. Rather, it just pushed the problem further down the road.

Name the social movements that altered American society after World War I
laiz [17]
There were multiple significant social movements after World War I including:

1) Harlem Renaissance- This movement revolved around the explosion of African-American music, art, writing, and culture. During this era, many African-American citizens lived in big cities  (like Harlem) and used their talents in order to captivate American citizens. This was a small step towards improved relations between white and black citizens, as they found common interests in things like jazz music.

2) Women's Rights Movement- Women played a significant part in the war effort during World War I. This prompted many women to demand more rights, especially voting rights. This movement that started right after World War I resulted in the passing of the 19th amendment, which granted women the right to vote.
