Republicans feared that the Supreme Court might use its power of judicial review to declare the Civil Rights Act unconstitutiona

l. In the Dred Scott decision of 1857, the Court had ruled that African Americans were not citizens. To avoid a similar ruling, Republicans proposed the Fourteenth Amendment. It defined citizens as "all persons born or naturalized in the United States." (The amendment did not apply to most Native Americans.) It guaranteed citizens "equal protection of the laws" and forbade states to "deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law." Thus, states could not legally discriminate against a citizen on unreasonable grounds, such as race. The Fourteenth Amendment was proposed in 1866.
Use the passage to answer the question.
Reread the paragraph from the text about the Fourteenth Amendment: According to this passage, how did the Dred Scott decision help inspire the Fourteenth Amendment?

A. The amendment was meant to ban slavery, which the Dred Scott decision supported.
B. The Dred Scott decision gave the Supreme Court the power to review laws, which the amendment ended.
C. The Dred Scott decision gave citizenship to Native Americans, but the amendment gave states the right to decide who is a citizen.
D. The Dred Scott decision declared that African Americans were not citizens, so the amendment defined citizenship to include them.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Chief Seattle considered strange that the American government would want to buy the land on which the tribe is living because he questioned the President of the United States how he wanted to put a price on elements that had no material or monetary value such as the freshness of the air, or the beauty of the sky. How he questioned US President Franklin Pierce, there was a price for the sparkle of the water.

Chief Seattle's view of this land was that mother Earth was something sacred for the Native American Indians. Nature was holy for his tribe. All the elements of nature were sacred and celebrated by the Native Indians. That is why they performed dances to the elements and chants, to thank mother nature for everything it provided.

How was British commander general Henry Clinton, able to get Charles Town to surrender and marked the worst American defeat of t
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Hi myself Shrushtee.

Explanation:

After a siege that began on April 2, 1780, Americans suffer their worst defeat of the revolution on May 12, 1780, with the unconditional surrender of Major General Benjamin Lincoln to British Lieutenant General Sir Henry Clinton and his army of 10,000 at Charleston, South Carolina.

With the victory, the British captured more than 3,000 Patriots and a great quantity of munitions and equipment, losing only 250 killed and wounded in the process. Confident of British control in the South, Lieutenant General Clinton sailed north to New York after the victory, having learned of an impending French expedition to the British-occupied northern state. He left General Charles Cornwallis in command of 8,300 British forces in the South.

South Carolina was a deeply divided state, and the British presence let loose the full violence of a civil war upon the population. First, the British used Loyalists to pacify the Patriot population; the Patriots returned the violence in kind. The guerrilla warfare strategies employed by Patriots Francis Marion, Thomas Sumter and Nathanael Greene throughout the Carolina campaign of 1780-81 eventually chased the far more numerous British force into Virginia, where they eventually surrendered at Yorktown on October 19, 1781.

Having suffered the humiliation of surrendering to the British at Charleston, Major General Lincoln was able to turn the tables and accept Cornwallis’ ceremonial surrender to General George Washington at Yorktown on October 20.
