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.

What were the causes of the cold war?
e-lub [12.9K]
The Cold War really began before WW II as the US and Russia had 2 very opposing views of government and didn't trust each other. However, during the war, the two countries had to put their differences aside to beat Nazi Germany. Towards the end of the war, it was evident that heat was building up between the two countries again. The Soviets were taking liberties in areas that suggested they were not only interested in winning the war but taking land also. They insisted they control Berlin at the end of the war, wanted Manchuria for their own and not to give back to China, insisted they be in charge of Postwar Japan operations (MacArthur said absolutely not) and were really upset that the US had the power to use a nuclear bomb that they didn't even know existed. The Soviets were also aggressive after the war in areas such as Korea and Viet Nam with "support".

How is the baby boom related to both the great depression and world war ii?
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

The baby boom was a result of couples that held off on birthing children during the world war 2 and great depression. There was the return of economic prosperity and the soldiers who had been to war were coming back.

Explanation:

There was a large number of marriages. The women were getting married earlier. The average woman was getting married at 20.

There was huge population growth in the mid 40s and mid 60s. The US had won the WW2 and people had children because they were optimistic about the future.

32 million babies were born in the 1940's compared to 24 million in the 1930's. This had a great impact on the economy, there was an increased need for baby services and the toy fads of 1950's and 1960's.
