<p>What was the Ostend Manifesto?</p>
<p>Ostend Manifesto--a plan in which the United States would try to acquire, or rather capture Cuba from the Spanish in 1854 under president Fillmore.</p>
<p>What was Roe vs. Wade?</p>
<p>A document that said if Spain refused to sell Cuba, America would be allowed to take it by force.</p>
<p>I think 1854 would be President Pierce, ivyleagueorbust.</p>
<p>Jane Roe(alias) sued the state of Texas for prohibiting abortion practices. Along with her a barren(?) couple sued the state too. Also a physician who conducts abortion operation sued the state of Texas. Jane Roe won and the right to abortion was regarded as a 'privacy' right. I think the physician lost, and I'm not sure about the couple.</p>
<p>Gadsden Purchase?</p>
<p>Ostend Manifesto--America wanted Cuba, but Spain wouldnt sell it to the U.S. at any price. After two bad attempts to take Cuba failed and after Spain captured the American steamer Black Warrior on a technicality, three U.S. foreign ministers met in Ostend, Belgium. They drew up the Ostend Manifesto which stated that the U.S. was to offer $120 million to Spain for Cuba. If Spain refused and Spains ownership of Cuba continued to endanger the U.S., then America would be justified in seizing the island.</p>
<p>Southern railroad man Gadsden and President Pierce wanted to build a transcontinental railroad that followed a southern route. However, the problem was that the Rocky Mountains was blocking the route. So Pierce sent Gadsden to Mexico and Gadsden negotiated with Santa Anna and bought the land just enough to build a railroad for 15million(?) i think. Even deepened the tension between north and south</p>
<p>Gadsen Purchase was a purchase in southwestern region, present day Arizona and New Mexico, i think.</p>
<p>Wow, i have too much bio in my head. It's definately Pierce. Fillmore was in 1848. :(</p>
<p>Yep, all of you are right.
Secretary of War Jefferson Davis arranged to have James Gadsden appointed minister to Mexico.
i. Finding Santa Anna in power again, he bought the Gadsden Purchase for $10 million, and despite clamor about the rip-off, Congress passed the sale.
ii. The South now appeared to have control of the location of the transcontinental railroad, but the North said that if organization of territories was the problem, then Nebraska should be organized.</p>
<p>Which brings up the next question..how was Nebraska organized--slave or no slaves? What was the Kansas Nebraska Act?</p>
<p>no slaves
It basically went against the Missouri Compromise. Kansas was above the line. It said that in NE and KS slavery would be voted on by popular sovereignty. Stephen Douglas told the Southern senators that since KS is next to MO, it will be very likely to become a slave state. He did this because he wanted to have the railroad start in Chicago so he could get rich. The act was passed and led to the so-called Bloody Kansas.</p>
<p>Kansas-Nebraska act was made by Stephen Douglas, maybe? It said that each state would determine the slavery question based on popular sovereignty.</p>
<p>That's pretty much right.</p>
<p>Senator Stephen Douglas proposed (now called) the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which would let slavery in Kansas and Nebraska be decided upon by popular sovereignty.
i. The problem was that the Missouri Compromise had banned this, so the act would have to repeal it.
ii. Southerners had not thought of Kansas as a possible slave state, and thus backed the bill, but Northerners rallied against it.
iii. Nevertheless, Douglass rammed the bill through Congress, and it was passed.
iiii. The Kansas-Nebraska Act directly wrecked the Compromise of 1820 and indirectly wrecked the Compromise of 1850.</p>
<p>I'll just have one question. I need to leave now. Bye
To what Supreme court decision did AJ said "let John Marshall enforce it" It was something in the South</p>
<p>Worchester v. Georgia, the prelude was Cherokee v. Georgia; it inevetiably led to the "Trail of Tears."</p>
<p>Aj?

<p>Yeah, it was under Jackson. He didn't want the Native Americans to assimilate with the whites, or vice versa.</p>
<p>Yeah, he didn't want to get involved with the native americans. </p>
<p>What did the Truman Doctrine do?</p>
