James E. Horton was a judge in the state of Alabama. He is famous for the "Scottsboro Boys" re-trials.

The state court of Alabama had issued a death sentence over Haywood Patterson, who was accused of raping two women on a train in 1931. However, after an appeal made by the defense of Patterson, a re-trial was scheduled. Judge Horton, which was in charge of the case, decided to overturn the death sentence. Patterson would eventually get 75 years in prison as a sentence.

Explain the events that led to France giving up its territory west of the Mississippi River.
sattari [20]

Answer:

France claimed the Mississippi River and all the lands drained by it. However, after land disputes led to the French and Indian War, France was worried that it was going to lose its hold on its land to the British. During the war, France hoped that allying with the Spanish would provide an advantage in the war. The two countries signed the Treaty of Fountainebleau in 1762. Spain agreed to fight with France, and the French gave up all the land they possessed west of the Mississippi River.
