Answer:

C. African Americans.

African Americans could not be regarded as citizens or people of the state/ country.

Explanation:

The 1857 Dred Scott v. Sandford Supreme Court decision involved Dred Scott, a slave who had been taken to a slave-free state of Illinois and the Wisconsin area and then brought back again to his master's old state in Missouri. Claiming that he deserved to be deemed a free man, the court decided that the move did not mean he is free.

Pertaining to this case, the Supreme Court decided that no slave, meaning no African American can be given legal citizenship status. This means that an African American cannot become a citizen of the state he resides in.

Aliun [14]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

It is TRUE that the cause of the Indian wars in the Pacific Northwest was mainly caused by broken treaties, which led to many deaths and Indians being forced into small reservations.

This is evident in the fact that the American government in their bid to use the land occupied by the native Americans in the Pacific Northwest of the United States or even any other area in the region, ask the native Americans to move to a new reservation with a promise of no trespassing on their lands or reservation.

However, many times, the US government tends to break this treaty, and war always eventually occurred as a result.
