Answer:
Dred Scott was an enslaved African American, and his court case for freedom raised hostility between the south and the North.
Explanation:
Dred Scott was born inside slavery, and from 1833 to 1843, he resided in Illinois, where slavery was forbidden. Upon coming to Missouri, Dred Scott appealed for his freedom from slavery, insisting that his residence in non-slavery territory gave him free. As the case reached the Supreme Court, the tension further increases between North and South. Since the 1820s, two parties had compromised on the issue of slavery's expansion (the Missouri Compromise). The North was not happy with the court decision as they believed the case gave Southern slaveholders growing power. The Southerners pleased as they believed the North had no right to interfere with matters related to slavery.

Answer:
Explanation:
Direct federal relief to the unemployed ran counter to President Herbert Hoover's strong beliefs about the limited role of government. As a result, he responded to the economic crisis with a goal of getting people back to work rather than directly granting relief. In October 1930, he established the President's Emergency Committee for Employment (later renamed the President's Organization for Unemployment Relief) to coordinate the efforts of local welfare agencies. As the Great Depression worsened, however, charitable organizations were simply overwhelmed by the magnitude of the problem, and Hoover tried new ideas to stimulate the economy:
*
The Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC) (1932) provided railroads, banks, and other financial institutions with money for loans.
*
The Glass-Steagall Act (1932) made getting commercial credit easier and released $750 million in gold reserves for additional business loans.
*
The Emergency Relief and Construction Act (1932) provided funds to the RFC to make loans for relief to the states and included additional money for local, state, and federal public works projects.
Despite Hoover's efforts to revitalize the economy, the public blamed him for the Great Depression — and the Republicans lost control of both Congress and the White House for almost two decades.
