An american traveling abroad observes locals eating chocolate covered crickets. she expresses disgust to her traveling companion

Harman [31]

She is likely exhibiting ethnocentrism. This is being defined as a way of showing judgement towards to other cultures based on their own standards that they are accustomed of or in their own culture. The American likely acted that way after seeing crickets to be eaten by locals because it is not normal or a tradition for their culture to eat bugs or even cover them with chocolates as they eat it.

Why did the foreigners invade deeper into Roman territory?

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Because Their military was not as strong as it used to.

Explanation:

The kings of Rome often had a lot of children. In a lot of cases, these kings decided to divide the empire into several parts and give each part to their children when they grew up. Since this happened over several generations, Roman territory keep getting smaller and their military forces started to became divided.

Foreign invaders saw this as an opportunity. They have no chance defeating the Romans when they're at the peak of their power. But things became a lot of easier after they're divided.

Briefly summarize the facts of the Dred Scott case and discuss the impact that the decision had on the growing conflict between

Viktor [21]

Answer:

"In April 1846, Dred and Harriet filed separate lawsuits for freedom in the St. Louis Circuit Court against Irene Emerson based on two Missouri statutes. One statute allowed any person of any color to sue for wrongful enslavement. The other stated that any person taken to a free territory automatically became free and could not be re-enslaved upon returning to a slave state.

Neither Dred nor Harriet Scott could read or write, and needed both logistical and financial support to plead their case. They received it from their church, abolitionists and an unlikely source, the Blow family who had once owned them.

Since Dred and Harriet Scott had lived in Illinois and the Wisconsin Territory — both free domains — they hoped they had a persuasive case. When they went to trial on June 30, 1847, however, the court ruled against them on a technicality and the judge granted a retrial.

The Scott’s went to trial again in January 1850 and won their freedom. Irene appealed the case to the Missouri Supreme Court which combined Dred and Harriet’s cases and reversed the lower court’s decision in 1852, making Dred Scott and his family slaves again.

In November 1853, Scott filed a federal lawsuit with the United States Circuit Court for the District of Missouri. By this time, Irene had transferred Scott and his family to her brother, John Sanford (although it was determined later that she retained ownership). On May 15, 1854, the federal court heard Dred Scott v. Sanford and ruled against Scott, holding him and his family in slavery.

In December 1854, Scott appealed his case to the United States Supreme Court. The trial began on February 11, 1856. By this time, the case had gained notoriety and Scott received support from many abolitionists, including powerful politicians and high-profile attorneys. But on March 6, 1857, in the infamous Dred Scott decision, Scott lost his fight for freedom again...... By the time the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its Dred Scott decision, Irene had married her second husband, Calvin Chaffee, a U.S. congressman and abolitionist. Upset upon learning his wife still owned the most infamous slave of the time, he sold Scott and his family to Taylor Blow, the son of Peter Blow, Scott’s original owner.

Taylor freed Scott and his family on May 26, 1857. Scott found work as a porter in a St. Louis hotel, but didn’t live long as a free man. At about 59 years of age, Scott died from tuberculosis on September 17, 1858."
