Which describes the supreme court's ruling in the dred scott case?
a. kansas and nebraska would henceforth be free states.
b. runaway slaves could not be returned to their owners.
c. the missouri compromise was upheld as constitutional.
d. neither free blacks nor slaves could be american citizens.

The answer is D. The Dred Scott case was a fight over civil rights. Dred scott wanted to be free since his owner had previously been in a free state. The judges voted in favor of the slave states. They believed that slaves were property and property could not be taken from its owner without just reason.  

Hey the answer is the politics of the southern united states generally refers to the political landscape of the southern united states. due to the region's unique cultural and historical heritage, including slavery, the south has been involved in many political issues. some of these issues include states' rights, reconstruction, the civil rights movement and social conservatism. from the 1870s to the 1960s, the region was referred to as the solid south, due to their consistent support for democrats in all elective offices. as a result, its congressmen gained seniority across many terms, thus enabling them to control many congressional committees. in presidential politics, the south began to move away from national democratic loyalties with the dixiecrat movement of 1948 and the barry goldwater presidential campaign of 1964. among white southerners, democratic loyalties first fell away at the presidential level, followed much later at the state and local levels.
