    The books Violence in the West and The Triangle Fire cultivate around three events: the Johnson County War, the Ludlow Massacre, and the Triangle Fire. The names of these events gives way to how the public interpreted them; the Johnson County War implies that both sides engaged in fighting and stood a chance, the Ludlow Massacre implies strong violence against a defenseless group, and the Triangle Fire, nicknamed the “Gotham Holocaust” by the Chicago Sunday Tribune, implies a group that did not stand a chance against a strong force of nature. Why was the Johnson County War viewed as an equal sided fight, while the Ludlow Massacre and Triangle Fire viewed as national tragedies that needed remedying? The latter two events largely dealt with the

    In the United States, during the eighteen-hundreds’, a small group of people believed that slavery was immoral and did many things to abolish it.

    1809 Words  | 8 Pages

    The Supreme Court presiding over the Dred Scott case was mostly Southerners who feared that the South was in grave danger. Given this fact, it was no surprise that the Supreme Court ruled against Scott, stating that as a Missourian slave, Scott was not a citizen and so not afforded the rights due to a citizen, including the right to sue for his freedom. As a second measure, the Supreme Court also decreed that Congress had no constitutional right to ban the movement of private property, or in this case slaves, from any territory or state. Buchanan's mistake was that he interfered. Before his inaugural speech, Buchanan learned that the Supreme Court’s decision was going to be in favour of the South.
