<p>you definitely SHOULD use outside info. if not your score will be lower. what i do is read the prompt, write every fact i can think about the subject, create a working thesis (to revise later), AND THEN go on to read the documents. this way your judgment is not deferred by the documents. make sure you have about 50-50 ratio in documents and outside info.</p>
<p>Plessy vs. Ferguson established the “separate but equal” doctrine, thereby legalizing segregation. it was overturned by brown vs. board of education of kansas </p>
<p>what’s the significance of dred scott v. sanford?</p>
<p>plessy v. ferguson was the decision that made segregation legal with ‘seperate but equal’ facilities.</p>
<p>later repealed by brown v. board</p>
<p>Plessy v Ferguson (1896) stated that ‘separate but equal’ was constitutional. It was repealed by the Brown v Board of Education in 1954, which stated that ‘separate but equal’ has no place in education. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 made segregation illegal in all public facilities.</p>
<p>The significance of dred scott v. sanford is the fact that slaves were not citizens, but property.</p>
<p>What is the platt amendment?</p>
<p>dred scott case declared slaves were not citizens therefore not able to sue. someone elaborate on significance.</p>
<p>The Dred Scott case also declared that the Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional. Sparked an outrage among the abolitionists.</p>
<p>“slaves are property” so if you were a slave and traveled North you remain a slave because you are property</p>
<p>Q: Tippecanoe and tyler too…explain</p>
<p>What is the platt amendment?</p>
<p>–amendment to cuban constitution stating that us could intervene in affairs</p>
<p>platt amendment: Cuba had to write into their constitution an amendment allowing us to intervene. </p>
<p>Dred Scott Case: Said that since slaves were property they were protected by the constitution throughout the country. Therefore all states were technically “slave states”. Ruled the Missouri Compromise unconstitutional</p>
<p>In the Lincoln-Douglas debates Douglas made the Freeport Doctrine which declared that popular sovereignty would determine slavery regardless of what courts said. </p>
<p>What were the pros and cons of the Bank of the United States? Who supported/opposed it and why?</p>
<p>^ it didnt necessarily declare the Missouri Compromise unconstitutional, it just established a precedent that technically voided it.</p>
<p>and the platt amendment, i think, said that the US had no intentions of taking over cuba, and that the military would leave as soon as there was “stability”.</p>
<p>someone correct me if im wrong</p>
<p>‘Tippecanoe and Tyler, too’ was the campaign slogan for William Harrison in the Election of 1840. (Tyler was VP) Tippecanoe refers to the time when Harrison killed a bunch of Indians.</p>
