Question

which best states how responses to the scott v. sandford decision differed in the north and south? people in the north agreed with part of the decision, while people in the south agreed with whole of it. people in the north disagreed with the whole decision, while people in the south only agreed with part of it. people in the north and south disagreed with the whole decision. people in the south welcomed the decision, while people in the north feared it.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the Scott v. Sandford (Dred Scott) decision:

• The ruling upheld slavery, declared African Americans couldn’t be citizens, and invalidated the Missouri Compromise.
• North: Opposed (disagreed) with the pro - slavery, pro - Southern decision.
• South: Supported (agreed) with the decision as it protected slavery and Southern interests.

Let's evaluate the options:

• Option 1 (likely the first, though text is partial but context - based): If it states “People in the North disagreed with part of the decision, while people in the South approved...” → Incorrect. The North broadly disagreed, the South broadly approved.
• Option 2: “People in the North disagreed with the whole decision, while people in the South only agreed with part of it.” → Incorrect. The South broadly supported the entire pro - slavery ruling.
• Option 3: “People in the South welcomed the decision, while people in the North feared it.” → Correct. The South (pro - slavery) welcomed the ruling that upheld slavery. The North (anti - slavery or at least opposed to the ruling’s expansion of slavery) feared its implications for slavery’s spread and civil rights.

Answer:

(Assuming the third option is labeled, e.g., C) C. People in the South welcomed the decision, while people in the North feared it.
