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.

What were some of the advantages, and disadvantages, of African American life in the North?
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The Reconstruction was implemented by Congress and lasted from 1866 to 1877. It was aimed at the reorganization of the Southern states after the Civil War, provision of the means for readmitting them into the Union, and definition of the means by which whites and blacks could live together in a non-slave society. The South, however, saw Reconstruction as a humiliation and even as a vengeful imposition and did not welcome it.
