Respuesta :

Option B, is the right answer, that Slaves are property not Citizens.

The Supreme Court of the United States on March 6, 1857, asserted that a Slave ( Dred Scott) who was living in the free state and territory of the United States was not allowed to his freedom and that the African -Americans were not and could never be subject of the U.S. Citizenship.  Supreme Court also declared that Congress had no power to exclude slavery from the territories of U.S.

The Pro-slavery vote split between several is the right answer.  


Northerners refused to support slavery, which resulted in the split of the Party into two, they chose Stephen Douglas as their Candidate. Lincoln's Criticisms on slavery in the debate with Douglas made him famous and win the Presidential election of 1860. His opinions on Slavery were less extensive than those of other candidates. Although He won with almost no vote in the south yet he claimed the Election and became the 16th president of the United States.


The Dred Scott decision reiterated the idea that slaves are property, not citizens.

Abraham Lincoln won the presidency because the proslavery vote split between several groups.

Further Explanation:

The Dred Scott Supreme Court case was critical in United States history. Dred Scott was a slave who sued for his freedom since his owner brought him to a territory that outlawed slavery. After his owner passed away, Scott sued saying that living in this territory that outlawed slavery for a couple years should make him free. However, the Supreme Court ruled against Dred Scott.

Not only did this case not free Dred Scott, it ruled that slaves are property and not people. This essentially made slavery legally everywhere in the US, since slave owners could now bring their slaves to states that already outlawed the institution. This caused extreme backlash among abolitionist.

This issue of slavery and its existence was a hotly debated topic in the presidential election of 1860. In this election, Lincoln narrowly won. Southerners did not trust Lincoln and thought he would try to outlaw the institution of slavery. This is why South Carolina seceded from the Union roughly one month after Lincoln won the election. After South Carolina seceded, several other states would leave as well. This would lead to the forming of the Confederate States of America.
