support believing the assault there a diversion and the real one would be at Pas-de-Calais. Looking at the map, why did Hitler think Calais the best location for invasion?

Answer:

The reason Germany chose to double-down Nazi defenses along the Calais coast was not only because of its proximity to England, but because Hitler fell hook, line and sinker for Operation Fortitude, one of the most successful military deception schemes in history. The Allies created a “dummy army” called the First U.S. Army Group (FUSAG) commanded by none other than Lt. General George Patton. When German spy planes made runs over Southeast England, they saw what looked like the buildup of a massive invasion force. But the regiments of tanks and landing craft were mostly inflatable decoys. Meanwhile, nearly every German spy in England had been either captured or turned into double agents. Those same agents told their Nazi handlers that the invasion was indeed planned for Calais, which was confirmed by phony Allied radio traffic intended to fall into German hands.

Which word best describes Congress' handling of slavery prior to the Dred Scott Decision?
xenn [34]

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.
