Read the passage from the opinion of the court in Dred Scott v. Sandford, written by Justice Taney
What is Taney's claim in this passage?
The question before us is, whether the class of persons
described in the plea in abatement compose a portion
of this people and are constituent members of this
sovereignty? We think they are not, and that they are
not included, and were not intended to be included
under the word "citizens" in the Constitution, and can
therefore claim none of the rights and privileges which
that instrument provides for and secures to citizens of
the United States. On the contrary, they were at that
time considered as a subordinate and inferior class of
beings who had been subjugated by the dominant
race and whether emancipated or not yet remained
subject to their authority and had no rights or privileges
but such as those who held the power and the
Government might choose to grant them

A)that African American people were covered by the
Constitution's definition of citizen

B)that emancipated African American people had
rights guaranteed by the government

C)that African American people were not part of the
group considered citizens by the Constitution

D)that African American people would have to get the
government's permission to be citizens

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
