Answer 1

<p> C. The South</p>

Answer 2

<p> The Dred Scott v. Sandford case was a monumental moment in American history. This U.S. Supreme Court case took place in 1856-57, where Dred Scott, an enslaved man from Missouri who had lived with his owner in a free state before returning to Missouri, appealed to the Supreme Court in hopes of being granted his freedom. However, the final outcome of the case, decided on 7-2 vote by Chief Justice Roger B. Taney, determined that African-Americans, whether free or enslaved, could not be considered American citizens. This also meant that the federal government had no legal right to regulate slavery in its territories, and the Missouri Compromise of 1820— which prohibited slavery north of line latitude 36°30´ - was unconstitutional. By invalidating the concept of the Free-soil (Land where slavery was illegal), it was a tremendous victory for slave states, primarily the Southern states, further reinforcing the institution of slavery within those territories.</p>
