dred scott case
in 1857, northerners who opposed slavery received another shock when the supreme court ruled against a slave named dred scott who was suing for his freedom. scott's owners had brought him with them from the south to a northern free state to live. the court declared that it did not matter whether scott lived in a slave state or a free state, because slaves were property and owners could take their property wherever they pleased.
most southerners were happy with the ruling, which meant that slavery could be extended into any territory, whether voters approved of it or not.

washington crossing the delaware
emanuel leutze's painting depicting general george washington leading troops across the frozen delaware river to attack the british at trenton is an idealized view of a great moment in american history. washington is shown standing, which would have been dangerous, since it would have unbalanced the boat. plus, the painting shows the wrong kind of boat and a flag that had not yet been created.
