Dred Scott Decision Constitution Of The United States
1,561 wordsMr. President, and Gentlemen of the Convention. If we could first know where we are, and whither we are tending, we could then better judge what to do, and how to do it. We are now far into the fifth year since a policy was initiated, with the avowed object, and confident promise, of putting an end to slavery agitation. Under the operation of that policy, that agitation has not only, not ceased, but has constantly augmented. In my opinion, it will not cease, until a crisis shall have been reache...

Annexation Of Texas Rio Grande
922 wordsThe Mexican War led to many different feelings in the United States. It split an even larger gap between the Democrats and the Whigs and incited many arguments between both groups. The main thing that provoked this was the annexation of Texas. President James Polk claimed that no other power similarly situated would have refused the annexation of Texas, which I believe to be true. England annexed both Ireland and Scotland for their nation, Great Britain. It was only a matter of time before the U...

Napoleon Iii Mexican War
