The answer below is what they each did and things like that.

John Brown:  

-Event in which John brown seized the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry (Virginia)

- freed and arm the enslaved people in the area

- begin a rebellion against slavery

-North: Martyr of Noble cause

-South: Terrorist

-Morally Justified: Yes

-killed on behalf of all enslaved people

-Slavery is morally wrong, he needed to take action to make any change

Dred Scott:

-I have recently heard the court's ruling on the Dred Scott Case

-not guarantee freedom to a free slave-wrong

-taken into free territory by his owner- he shall be granted his freedom.

-Any other slave in these free territories had their freedom, why shouldn't Mr. Scott?

- tension over slavery

-ruling was a choice of personal morals,

-This decision will only pull the north and south farther

-State court ruled Scott a free man, Supreme Court not (increase tension)

-Sign of an unstable relationship between state and federal gov.

-Instead of solving the issue of slavery, the decision itself has become an issue in the territories
