For the first question, to determine the impact of the Dred Scott v. Sanford case on slavery and enslaved persons, we need to understand the details of the case. The Dred Scott case was a landmark decision by the United States Supreme Court in 1857. Dred Scott, an enslaved African American, sued for his freedom on the basis of his residence in free territories. The Supreme Court decision had various impacts related to slavery and enslaved persons:
A. Incorrect: The Dred Scott decision did not declare slavery to be unconstitutional. In fact, it reinforced the legality of slavery.
B. Correct: The Dred Scott decision denied Congress the power to abolish slavery in the territories. This had significant implications for the expansion of slavery and the ability of Congress to regulate it.
C. Incorrect: The Dred Scott decision did not give enslaved people more rights. On the contrary, it reinforced the view that enslaved individuals were property and not entitled to rights as citizens.
D. Correct: The Dred Scott decision left the decisions regarding slaves' rights up to individual states. This meant that states were free to decide on the status and treatment of enslaved individuals within their borders.
Therefore, the correct answer is B: It denied Congress the power to abolish slavery in the territories and D: It left the decisions of slaves' rights up to individual states as the impacts of the Dred Scott v. Sanford case on slavery and enslaved persons.
Moving on to the second question about the Crittenden Compromise and its proposals to avoid secession:
To understand the proposals in the Crittenden Compromise, we need to look at the context of the Compromise itself. The Crittenden Compromise was an unsuccessful attempt to prevent the secession of the southern states and avoid the outbreak of the Civil War. It aimed to address various grievances of the Southern states and preserve the balance between free and slave states in the Union. The correct proposals in the Crittenden Compromise were:
A. Correct: One proposal included reduced tariffs for the southern states. This was an attempt to appease the southern states and address their economic concerns.
B. Correct: One proposal included clear boundaries for where slavery could and couldn't exist. This was an effort to establish a compromise on the expansion of slavery and prevent future conflicts.
C. Incorrect: The implementation of the Anaconda Plan was not a part of the Crittenden Compromise. The Anaconda Plan was a Union military strategy during the Civil War.
D. Incorrect: A clause to compensate slave owners if fugitives could not be returned was not a part of the Crittenden Compromise. It was, however, an issue discussed in the Compromise of 1850.
Therefore, the correct answers for the proposals in the Crittenden Compromise to avoid secession are A: One proposal included reduced tariffs for the southern states and B: One proposal included clear boundaries for where slavery could and couldn't exist.
Moving on to the third question regarding the strategies the Union intended to use as part of its Anaconda Plan:
To determine the strategies of the Union's Anaconda Plan, we need to understand the goals and objectives of the plan. The Anaconda Plan was a military strategy employed by the Union during the Civil War to defeat the Confederacy. The correct strategies of the Union's Anaconda Plan were:
A. Correct: The Union intended to set up a naval blockade along the southern coast. This would cut off Confederate access to international trade and weaken their economy.
B. Incorrect: The Anaconda Plan did not involve a more defensive strategy of surrounding borders and waiting for attacks. It aimed to actively engage and weaken the Confederacy.
C. Correct: The Union intended to seize control of the Mississippi River. This would split the Confederacy in half and disrupt their internal transportation and supply lines.
D. Incorrect: The Union did not rely on European allies to provide them with supplies. The Anaconda Plan focused on using Union resources and military strength.
E. Incorrect: Infiltrating southern cities and spreading panic and disinformation was not a part of the Union's strategies in the Anaconda Plan. The plan emphasized naval blockade and control of vital geographical positions.
Therefore, the correct answers for the strategies of the Union's Anaconda Plan are A: to set up a naval blockade along the southern coast and C: to seize control of the Mississippi River.
Moving on to the last question about the Emancipation Proclamation and its effect on the progression of the Civil War:
To assess the effect of the Emancipation Proclamation on the Civil War's progression, we need to understand the purpose and impact of the proclamation. The Emancipation Proclamation was an executive order issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863. The correct effects of the Emancipation Proclamation on the progression of the Civil War were:
A. Correct: The Emancipation Proclamation decreased the likelihood that European countries would help the Confederacy. European countries, particularly those with strong abolitionist sentiments, were less likely to support a cause fighting to maintain slavery.
B. Incorrect: The Emancipation Proclamation did not force southern states to secede from the Union. The secession had occurred before the issuance of the proclamation and was driven by other factors.
C. Incorrect: The Emancipation Proclamation did not extend the abolitionists' power to operate the Underground Railroad. The Underground Railroad was an informal network that assisted enslaved individuals in escaping to free states or Canada. It operated independent of the proclamation.
D. Correct: The Emancipation Proclamation gave African Americans the right to fight in the war. It enabled African Americans, both free and those who escaped slavery, to join the Union Army and contribute to the war effort.
Therefore, the correct answers for the effects of the Emancipation Proclamation on the progression of the Civil War are A: It decreased the likelihood that European countries would help the Confederacy and D: It gave African Americans the right to fight in the war.
