LAD/Blog #33: Kellogg-Briand Peace Pact

This pact, otherwise known as the pact of paris, was constructed to further prevent world conflict as the treaty of versailles was lacking in its duties. This treaty was named after Briand, who strongly opposed conflict between the US and France, and Kellogg, the US Secretary of State. A total of 62 countries ratified this treaty, with 15 initial signees. This treaty also failed when Japan invaded Manchuria as nobody aided the Chinese with resources, and thus the path to another war treaded onward.

Because of this, many European nations did not recognize the Monroe Doctrine, however America still had the support of Br...

On March 6 1857, the Supreme court decided that any African Americans either slave or free were not American citizens and therefore could not pursue legal matters in court. Moreover, the court found that Congress did not have the ability to abolish slavery and that slave owners ownership on slaves was protected by the 5th amendment. Collectively, this came from Scott v. Sandford, where widowed Eliza Sanford refused to let Scott buy his freedom despite formerly living in a free state, causing a lawsuit. Justice Taney ruled that this case would not be considered and due to this, tensions furthered between North and South grew.  Dred Scott Decision Brown v. Board of education was very similar to this ruling
