Dred Scott sued John Sanford claiming he was a free citizen as he had lived above the 36'30 parallel line in Missouri where the Missouri Compromise declared slaves were free. John Sanford argued that Scott was not a U.S. citizen because he was black and therefore could not sue in federal court. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Sanford, finding that Scott was not a citizen and the Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional, upholding slavery and property rights over slaves.

Unit 9 PowerPoint Civil Rights Movement
The document outlines key events in the American Civil Rights Movement from the Reconstruction Era to the 1960s. It discusses pivotal court cases like Plessy v. Ferguson, which legalized segregation, and Brown v. Board of Education, which overturned it. Major nonviolent protests led by Martin Luther King Jr. and organizations like the SCLC, SNCC, and CORE are also summarized, such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott and March on Washington. The passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965 are noted as important victories for the movement.
Key Events Leading to the Civil War
The document summarizes key events leading up to the American Civil War, including the abolitionist movement, the Underground Railroad, political compromises around the issue of slavery, the Dred Scott decision, Bleeding Kansas, John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry, and Southern states seceding after the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860. It provides context on the growing sectional divide between free and slave states over the issue of expanding slavery into new territories.
Articles of Confederation
The Articles of Confederation established the first constitution of the United States from 1776-1787. It created a weak central government with a unicameral Congress consisting of one delegate per state and no executive branch. Congress had limited powers and it was difficult to pass laws or amendments. Dissatisfaction grew due to conflicts between states, debt, economic troubles, and uprisings like Shays' Rebellion. This led figures like Hamilton and Madison to call the Philadelphia Convention to draft a new constitution and replace the Articles of Confederation with a stronger central government.
Civil rights movement - slide share 1
The civil rights movement made major progress in the 1950s and 1960s in correcting racial segregation through nonviolent protests and legal victories. The 1954 Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court ruling declared segregation in public schools unconstitutional, overturning the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson decision allowing segregation. Events like the Montgomery bus boycott and attempts to desegregate schools like Little Rock Central High School helped launch the modern civil rights movement. Major legislation like the 1964 Civil Rights Act and 1965 Voting Rights Act were passed after protests like sit-ins and Freedom Rides challenged segregation, though racial inequalities remained.
The Civil War
The Civil War began in 1861 following several decades of increasing tensions between northern and southern states over the issues of states' rights and slavery. Key events and compromises failed to stop the spread of slavery and preserve the Union, culminating in southern states seceding to form the Confederate States of America. The war was fought for control of territories and to determine whether slavery would be permitted to expand. Major battles like Antietam, Gettysburg, and Vicksburg were turning points, and Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation aimed to weaken the South by freeing slaves. Ultimately, the Union prevailed after General Lee surrendered in 1865, but Lincoln was assassinated shortly after.
Andrew Jackson the Common Man's President
Andrew Jackson was a self-made man who rose from poverty to become a wealthy plantation owner and national hero after his victory at the Battle of New Orleans. As president, Jackson believed in rule by the common man and enacted the spoils system, replacing career government workers with his political allies. He also relied on an informal "kitchen cabinet" for advice. His opposition to the national bank and enforcement of the Indian Removal Act, despite a Supreme Court ruling, were controversial decisions that extended presidential power but had disastrous consequences for Native Americans.
Compromise Of 1850
rundown of various compromises designed to stave off Civil War for a little while longer, as well as some causes of the war.
Constitutional convention
The Constitutional Convention began on May 25, 1787 in Philadelphia to improve the failing Articles of Confederation. George Washington presided over the convention and James Madison took extensive notes. The delegates debated issues such as the balance of power between federal and state governments, representation in Congress, and the divisive issue of slavery. They proposed plans like the Virginia Plan for a stronger national government and the New Jersey Plan favoring state power. The Great Compromise created a bicameral legislature to balance state and population-based representation. Further compromises addressed slavery, including the Three-Fifths Compromise to determine representation and taxes based on population including slaves.

Reconstruction (1865-1877)
The Reconstruction of the South summarizes the period after the Civil War when the United States sought to reintegrate the Confederate states and protect the rights of freed slaves. It describes the competing plans of Lincoln, Johnson, and Radical Republicans to rebuild the South. Ultimately, Reconstruction ended in 1877 with the Compromise that withdrew federal troops and oversight from the South.
Causes of the civil war power point
The Civil War began due to longstanding tensions between the Northern and Southern states over the issues of slavery and states' rights. The Northern states relied on industry and opposed the expansion of slavery, while the Southern states relied on agriculture and the institution of slavery. Several attempts were made to reach compromises on the issues through political measures like the Compromise of 1850, but tensions continued to rise due to events like the publication of Uncle Tom's Cabin, the Kansas-Nebraska Act leading to violence in Kansas, and the Dred Scott Supreme Court decision. In 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected President as the first Republican candidate, and in response several Southern states seceded to form the Confederate States of America.
Reconstruction Power Point
The Radical Republicans took control of Reconstruction after Lincoln's assassination. They established the Freedmen's Bureau to help former slaves and passed the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments. However, white supremacist groups like the KKK used violence and intimidation. Rufus Bullock became governor of Georgia but unrest continued until military rule was restored. The Compromise of 1877 ended Reconstruction, leaving the South under Democratic control.
Jim crow laws
This lecture is devoted to the Jim Crow Era. It relates the different civil rights cases that marked the beginnings of the era, and sheds light on black disenfranchisement in the Southern states as well as segration in both public and private spheres
Washington's Presidency
George Washington served as the first President of the United States and helped establish the structure and powers of the executive branch. He appointed the first Cabinet, including Alexander Hamilton as Secretary of Treasury and Thomas Jefferson as Secretary of State. Hamilton and Jefferson disagreed over the interpretation of Congressional authority, with Hamilton favoring a loose interpretation allowing more federal power and Jefferson preferring a strict interpretation reserving more powers for states. Washington's presidency established many precedents and saw the emergence of the first political parties in the United States.
Louisiana Purchase Presentation
The document summarizes the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, in which the United States acquired the Louisiana Territory from France. Facing unrest from settlers and the threat of war with France over control of the Mississippi River, President Jefferson sent envoys to purchase New Orleans. To their surprise, Napoleon instead offered to sell the entire Louisiana Territory for $15 million. Though some argued it was unconstitutional, the Senate approved the purchase, doubling the size of the country and opening the door to western expansion.
marbury v madison
New justice positions were created before President Adams left office. He appointed justices with a federal ideology, but the appointments were never fully approved by Congress. One appointee, William Marbury, sued after being denied his position. In Marbury v. Madison, the Supreme Court ruled that while Marbury had a right to his appointment, the court could not force its issuance due to limits on its jurisdiction set by the Constitution. This established the Supreme Court's ability to declare acts of Congress unconstitutional.
The War Of 1812
The War of 1812 was caused by American grievances against Britain related to impressment and attacks on American ships. Known as the War Hawks, a group in Congress pushed for war. They were opposed by Native American leader Tecumseh, who sought an alliance with Britain. Though the U.S. military was unprepared, battles were fought in Canada and at sea. In 1814, British forces burned Washington D.C., but American forces later won a key victory at the Battle of New Orleans under General Andrew Jackson after the war had ended. The war was concluded in 1815 with the signing of the Treaty of Ghent.
Civil War Presentation
The document summarizes key events in the early years of the American Civil War from 1860 to 1864. It describes Lincoln's election and southern states' secession in late 1860. In early 1861, seven southern states form the Confederate States of America. After the bombardment of Fort Sumter in April 1861, Lincoln calls for volunteers to retake the fort which leads to more states seceding. Major battles like Bull Run and Antietam take place from 1861 to 1862. The Emancipation Proclamation is issued in 1863, freeing slaves in rebel states. Union victories at Gettysburg and Vicksburg mark a turning point in 1863. Sherman's March to the Sea in 1864 helps secure Lincoln's reelection that year.
Louisiana purchase
The Jeffersonian era was rife with conflict, partisan passion, and larger-than-life personalities. On the domestic front, a new party, the Republicans, came to office for the first time and a former vice president was charged with treason.
Introduction to the Bill of Rights
James Madison drafted the Bill of Rights in 1791, adding 10 amendments to the Constitution that guarantee key freedoms like religion, speech, press, petition, and assembly. The amendments protect citizens from unreasonable search and seizure and self-incrimination, ensure due process of law, and the right to a fair and speedy trial.
Reconstruction
Abraham Lincoln initially sought to preserve the Union rather than abolish slavery during the Civil War. However, northern public opinion and soldiers increasingly saw abolition as a goal. Lincoln responded by issuing the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 and pushing for the 13th Amendment, officially abolishing slavery. After the war, Reconstruction policies aimed to integrate freed slaves as citizens and restore the South to the Union. However, the South passed "Black Codes" restricting black rights. This increased tensions between Congress and President Johnson, leading to impeachment efforts and Republican control of Reconstruction. Ultimately, the Compromise of 1877 ended Reconstruction and removed federal troops from the South, abandoning protections for black civil rights.
Civil Rights Movement
The Civil Rights Movement prior to 1954 saw some progress such as the abolition of slavery after the Civil War and the founding of organizations like the NAACP in 1909. However, the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court decision legalized racial segregation. Through the 1950s, the NAACP challenged segregation in the courts in cases like Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, which ruled that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. However, implementation of desegregation met strong resistance in some southern states, as seen in events like the Little Rock Nine crisis. Non-violent protests grew the movement throughout the late 1950s and early 1960s, culminating in the March on Washington and passage of the Civil
PS 101 Federalism Fall 2013
The document discusses the concept and history of federalism in the United States. It defines federalism as a system that divides power between a central government and smaller governmental units. It then outlines how federalism is embodied in the US Constitution through the Supremacy Clause, Article I Section 8, and the 10th Amendment. The document also discusses the advantages of federalism, like meeting diverse needs and allowing for innovation, and disadvantages like lack of national standards. It examines how federalism both promotes and hinders democracy. Finally, it traces the evolution of federalism in the US from dual federalism to cooperative federalism to creative federalism through increased federal spending and grant programs to states.
Soc studies #18 presidency of george washington
George Washington was unanimously elected the first President of the United States in 1789. As President, Washington established important precedents for the office and helped shape the new government. Key accomplishments included creating the cabinet and executive branch, establishing the federal court system, and moving the capital to Philadelphia then to Washington D.C. through compromises. Washington also had to navigate tensions between Secretary of Treasury Alexander Hamilton, who favored a strong federal government, and Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson, who favored states' rights.
Slavery in america (1)
Slavery began in America in 1619 when the first Africans were brought to Jamestown, Virginia by Dutch traders who had seized them from a Spanish ship. Over the next few centuries, slavery grew significantly as slave ships transported Africans to America against their will to be sold at auctions and forced to work on plantations under inhumane conditions. Slaves faced brutal punishments if they disobeyed and had no rights. The Underground Railroad and abolitionists worked to help escaped slaves reach freedom. Ultimately, the Civil War from 1861 to 1865 led to the end of slavery with Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation and the 13th Amendment.
Vietnam war
The Vietnam War lasted from 1954 to 1975 and involved military engagement between North Vietnam and South Vietnam, with the United States backing South Vietnam. France had previously controlled Vietnam but withdrew after their defeat at Dien Bien Phu in 1954. This led to Vietnam being divided along the 17th parallel, with communist North Vietnam controlling the north and US-backed South Vietnam controlling the south. Tensions rose and the US became increasingly involved, sending military advisors to support South Vietnam against North Vietnam and communist Viet Cong forces in the south. Major events of the war included the Gulf of Tonkin incident leading to increased US bombing of North Vietnam, the Tet Offensive of 1968, and the fall of Saigon in 1975 when North Vietnam defeated
Marbury v madison
Marbury vs. Madison established the Supreme Court's power of judicial review. It arose from William Marbury suing Secretary of State James Madison to deliver his commission as a justice of the peace appointed by outgoing President John Adams. While Chief Justice John Marshall ruled Marbury had a right to the commission, the court lacked authority under the Judiciary Act to force Madison. However, Marshall established the court could declare legislative acts unconstitutional, asserting its authority over the other branches.
Urbanization ch. 10.2
During the late 19th century, rapid urbanization in the United States was enabled by new technologies like steel-framed skyscrapers and elevators, as well as mass transit systems. As cities grew, distinct social classes emerged with the wealthy residing downtown and working classes in crowded tenement housing. Political machines run by bosses provided services to new urban immigrants and the working class in exchange for votes, though they were often corrupt.
Women's Suffrage Movement
The American women's suffrage movement spanned from 1848 to 1920, beginning at the Seneca Falls Convention where the Declaration of Sentiments demanded equal rights for women, including the right to vote. While the 15th Amendment granted black men the vote in 1870, it disappointed many suffragists. Divisions emerged over strategies, but the movement reunited and pursued passing a constitutional amendment. Under leaders like Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Alice Paul, and Carrie Chapman Catt, suffragists lobbied and protested for decades. Their efforts succeeded with Tennessee's ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920, giving women nationwide the right to vote.
Dred scott
Dred Scott was born into slavery in Virginia in 1795 and was owned by various masters over time. He lived with his owner in Wisconsin and Illinois, free states, for extended periods. After his owner died, Scott sued for his freedom, arguing that living in free states should grant him emancipation. The case went to the Supreme Court, which ruled against Scott, establishing that slaves and their descendants could never be citizens. This inflamed tensions between North and South and inspired amendments abolishing and limiting slavery.
The Dred Scott Decision
Dred Scott was a slave who sued for his freedom after living in free states with his owner. His case reached the Supreme Court in 1857, where Chief Justice Taney ruled against Scott and declared that blacks could not be citizens and Congress could not ban slavery in territories. The controversial decision inflamed tensions around slavery and helped plunge the nation into civil war.

Dred Scott
Dred Scott was a slave who sued for his freedom after living in free states for several years. His case went through multiple trials in both state and federal courts. Ultimately, the US Supreme Court ruled against Scott, finding that neither he nor any other person of African descent could claim citizenship in the United States. The Dred Scott decision heightened tensions between pro-slavery and abolition forces that contributed to the outbreak of the Civil War.
Gibbons v ogden
The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Ogden, finding that the Commerce Clause gives the federal government exclusive power to regulate interstate commerce such as navigation between states.

Seneca falls convention
The Seneca Falls Convention was the first convention for women's rights held in Seneca Falls, New York in 1848. Women organized the convention because they were upset at being excluded from the 1840 World Anti-Slavery Convention. The Seneca Falls Convention marked the beginning of the women's equal rights movement in demanding equal treatment under the law as men.
Marbury V. Madison Powerpoint
Marbury v. Madison established the principle of judicial review in the United States. The Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice John Marshall, ruled that the Judiciary Act of 1789 was unconstitutional and that the Supreme Court has the power to strike down laws that are incompatible with the Constitution. This established the Supreme Court's role in determining the constitutionality of laws and enhanced the judiciary's independence from the other branches of government.
Korematsu vs. United States
Fred Korematsu challenged his conviction of refusing to leave his California home during World War II when Japanese Americans were ordered to internment camps. He argued this violated his constitutional rights. The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in favor of the U.S. government allowing the internment. Korematsu believed no American citizen should be imprisoned without a trial based on their race. The Japanese internment camps during WWII remain a blemish on U.S. history, and this case aimed to prevent similar injustices in the future.
John Brown
John Brown led a raid on a federal armory in Harpers Ferry, Virginia in 1859 hoping to start a slave revolt. He was captured along with 21 men, including 5 black men, and was later hanged for his actions. The raid gained significant attention as it showed the divide between abolitionists in the North and pro-slavery advocates in the South. Events like the Kansas-Nebraska Act and Dred Scott decision inflamed tensions by renewing hopes of expanding slavery and ruling that blacks could not be citizens, pushing Brown and others to take action. His raid was seen as a catalyst for the eventual Civil War as it demonstrated the North was willing to use force and increased political tensions between free and slave states.
Tinker vs. DesMoines - Student Free Speech
The document summarizes the landmark Supreme Court case Tinker v. Des Moines from 1969. It details how several students wore black armbands to school to protest the Vietnam War and were suspended. The ACLU filed a complaint and the Supreme Court eventually ruled that students have the right to freedom of expression as long as it does not cause substantial disruption or infringe on others' rights, establishing that students do not shed their constitutional rights at the schoolhouse gate. The decision shaped school administrators' ability to limit student expression.

Brown Vs Board Of Education
This is a Powerpoint presentation that explains the history of segregation in the US. It is an important tool as it illustrates the background of racial tension that can exist today and open dialogue to create change and more progressive attitudes towards race. It helps promote diversity as the injustices of segregation call us all to look at our own biases. It also bolsters diversity, as Powerpoint accommodates many types of learners, both audio and visual. Powerpoint is an important technological tool to use in a class room, providing audio and visual help to students. This presentation illustrates my understanding of the program. I have uploaded this Powerpoint to a shared slide site, which further shows my comfort with the Internet in this age of technology.
Marbury v madison
William Marbury sued James Madison after President Adams appointed Marbury to a position as justice of the peace but Secretary of State Madison refused to deliver the commission. The Supreme Court ruled that while Marbury was entitled to the position, the court did not have the power to force Madison to deliver the commission, establishing the principle of judicial review.

Scott v sandford
- 1. Scott V Sandford The Plaintiff The Accused
- 2. Dred Scott Dred Scott was an African American slave claiming freedom from his possession under John Sanford. Dred Scott sued John Sanford stating that he was a free citizen because he was living above the 36’30 parallel line in the state of Missouri. The Missouri Compromise Stated all African American slaves living above the 36’30 parallel were considered free.
- 3. John Sandford John Sandford was the owner of Dred Scott. He argued that Scott was not U.S. citizen, because of the fact that he was not African American, which means he would not be allowed to sue him in the court of law.
- 4. Summary The supreme court ruled that Dred Scott was guilty and was in favor of Sandford . The supreme court stated that Scott did not have the right to bring the case to trial at the U.S federal court because he was not a United States Citizen. Since Dred Scott had African ancestry he was not able to hold U.S. citizenship. Under this trial the Court ruled the Missouri Compromise unconstitutional because it would deprive Sandford of his legal property (Scott). This trial also helped lead to the creation of the 13th amendment (abolishing slavery), 14th amendment (granting former slaves citizen ship), and the 15th amendment (giving citizenship to any African American born in the United States.
