Question

Which position accurately summarizes the Freeport Doctrine? O the idea that international slave trade was outlawed the idea that gerrymandering districts should be outlawed O the idea that people in territories could vote to end slavery O the idea that slavery must not spread to western territories​

Answer 1

The Freeport Doctrine was a political position expressed by Stephen A. Douglas during the Lincoln-Douglas debates in 1858. It stated that the issue of slavery in the western territories could be decided by the people living there, regardless of the Supreme Court's Dred Scott decision, which declared that Congress had no power to regulate slavery in the territories. Therefore, the position that accurately summarizes the Freeport Doctrine is:

O the idea that people in territories could vote to end slavery.
