Description

1804 1ed Volney Climate of USA French Colonies INDIANS Florida Canada John Adams

Constantin-FranÃ§ois Volney, an 18th-century French philosopher, was known for his books on the human mind and will. However, at the end of the 18th-century, he took a voyage to the United States. The journey did not quite turn out as he had hoped, as he was accused by President John Adams of espionage. He quickly returned to France and wrote the book View of the Climate and soil of the United States.

While the title does suggest the work focuses on climate, it deals heavily with the political and social climate, paying special attention to Native American Indian cultures. He gives insight to the French colonies in Florida, as well as establishments in Ohio and parts of Canada.

William Scott (1804 â€“ 1862) was an American lawyer and judge who served on the Supreme Court of Missouri from 1841 to 1849 and from 1851 to 1862. He also served on the Jefferson City Circuit Court.

Justice Scott was the author of the majority opinion in Scott v. Emerson, 15 Missouri 572 (1852), which was part of the Dred Scott v. Sandford case. Scotts opinion, which overturned well-established precedent in Missouri, set the stage for Dred Scotts case in the Supreme Court.
