Karma Kline · Answer 1

C. Dred Scott

Explanation:

Dred Scott v. Standford was an 1857 court ruling that stated blacks, free or not, were not citizens of the U. S. If you are not a citizen of the United States you are not allowed to sue in a Federal court, but Dred Scott did. He stated he was actually in fact free, because he was living in a free territory. He eventually lost the case.

Dred Scott's Supreme Court case led to increased sectional tensions between the North and the South

Explanation:

The congress was raged between the debates of the slave trade and other free interest states but most of the people in the north and southern regions to polarize the fault regions across the lines. Desperate political organizations started creating different maps.

The republic later formed part of the congress and promoted more industries and other businesses, which then attracted slavery factions. The Democrats also split towards the north and the south with different election tickets across the 1860s.
