The past two days in class we focused on the Dred Scott case. Dred Scott was a slave that was trying to sue his masters for his freedom. Unfortunately, he had bad-timing, and if he had addressed the case at an earlier date, he probably would have won. Today in class, we focused on Abraham vs. Stephen Douglas in the Senate race. Abraham was one of the first Republicans, that strongly opposed slavery. Stephen Douglas believed it should be up to the state to allow or abolish it.

My goal: Yeah so my goal isn't going very well. I occasionally do it, but there just aren't enough hours in the day.
