Answer:
Dred Scott case
Explanation:
The Dred Scott case happened in 1846, when a slave Dred Scott sued for his freedom. His master had brought him along on a trip to a territory where slavery was prohibited, and Scott said that by that right, he had become a free man. However, the Supreme Court upheld the practice of slavery, saying that slaves had no right to bring their cases to court, as they were considered sub-human. This decision stunned the nation, yet the Supreme Court stood by their choice.

Explanation:
The election of 1848 did nothing to quell the controversy over whether slavery would advance into the Mexican Cession. Some slaveholders, like President Taylor, considered the question a moot point because the lands acquired from Mexico were far too dry for growing cotton and therefore, they thought, no slaveholder would want to move there. Other southerners, however, argued that the question was not whether slaveholders would want to move to the lands of the Mexican Cession, but whether they could and still retain control of their slave property. Denying them the right to freely relocate with their lawful property was, they maintained, unfair and unconstitutional. Northerners argued, just as fervidly, that because Mexico had abolished slavery, no slaves currently lived in the Mexican Cession, and to introduce slavery there would extend it to a new territory, thus furthering the institution and giving the Slave Power more control over the United States. The strong current of antislavery sentiment—that is, the desire to protect white labor—only increased the opposition to the expansion of slavery into the West.
Many economists felt that the reparations demanded from Germany were excessive and counterproductive. Operating from the principle of permanently weakening Germany, France was particularly keen on punishing Germany and limiting its ability to wage war. This approach, however, backfired because reparations were so severe Germany plunged into economic chaos. This situation allowed for the rise of Adolf Hitler and planted the seeds for WWII.
