Dred Scott was an enslaved man who was taken into free states by his owners. Scott attempted to sue for his freedom, but was denied. The case set the precedent that slaves were to be in bondage in free states and territories, as well as slave states and territories.

Option C, It declared slaves to be in bondage even in free states or territories, is the right answer.

The supreme court of the United States on March 6, 1857, asserted that a Slave ( Dred Scott) who was living in the free state and territory of the United States was not allowed to his freedom and that the African -Americans were not and could never be subject of the U.S. Citizenship. Supreme Court also declared that Congress had no power to exclude slavery from the territories of U.S. This became Abolitionists (the White Northerners, who opposed Slavery) outraged from the decision made by the Supreme Court.

Why did confederate general Robert E. Lee decide to invade Union territory during the Civil War?
Leona [35]
General Robert E. Lee, the Confederate commander of the Army of Northern Virginia, invaded Union territory in an attempt to persuade the United States into a negotiated peace after a hoped-for decisive and damaging attack on Northern soil.<span> It was also believed that a notable Southern victory in Union territory might have resulted in financial support and recognition of the Confederate cause from England or France. General Lee's first invasion of the North, which took place in Maryland during September of 1862, was repulsed by Union forces at the Battle of Antietam, but it was followed by a second invasion by Lee into Pennsylvania during the months of June and July in 1863.

What goal did the U.S. have fighting in vietnam
viktelen [127]
Hey there!

Their goal was to fight and Vietnam and win, as in any other war for the US. This was because of something very important called the Domino Effect, created by Dwight D Eisenhower, which stated that if one country adopted communism, other countries surrounding it and eventually the world would start too.

The US couldn't have communism spread. That's why we were enemies with the Soviets and created a trade embargo on Cuba in 1960. Our goal was to get rid of communism once and for all.

However, on March 29th, 1973, when  President Nixon withdrew all remaining troops from Vietnam, leaving America's first defeat, the Domino Effect could have happened and been quite bad. However, it did not spread around Indo-China, and few countries use communism today.

Hope this helps!
