11/27/12 11/28/12

In class we read information on the case of Dred Scott. It was mind blowing that people were considered to be property. When you look at a person you see them as they are, a person, when you look at land or something someone would consider "property" your first thought is not humans. What makes no sense is how anyone can just own a human being its like "hey im selling my brother, 100 bucks and he is all yours". One other thing we leared is that lincon did not agree with the whole dred Scott case and that Douglas wasn't overly vocal on his opinion. Pretty much everything Lincon was for Douglass was against.This is what helped the people decide who they wanted to vote for because they were almost complete oppistes which made it eaiser to guess there opinions on things.
