In the mid-nineteenth century, what did most Americans believe the Constitution

Answer and Explanation:

In the mid-nineteenth century, most Americans (particularly the Southerners) believe the Constitution said that the individual states have power over the federal government to decide about the existence of slavery in the United States.

Not until Abraham Lincoln and the Northerners stepped in and insisted that the Union's victory brought about the US, so the consistution was amended and the federal government was given the authority to decide the existence of slavery later on.

Slavery itself was never widespread in the North, though many of the region’s businessmen grew rich on the slave trade and investments in southern plantations. Between 1774 and 1804, all of the northern states abolished slavery, but the so-called “peculiar institution” of slavery remained absolutely vital to the South.

Explanation:

U.S. Congress outlawed the African slave trade in 1808, the domestic trade flourished, and the enslaved population in the U.S. nearly tripled over the next 50 years. By 1860 it had reached nearly 4 million, with more than half living in the cotton-producing states of the South.

Enslaved people in the antebellum South constituted about one-third of the southern population. Most lived on large plantations or small farms; many masters owned fewer than 50 enslaved people.

The USSR was really in the right. They had spotted a spy plane with an American pilot inside trespassing in restricted air space and shot it down without killing the spy. Although the USSR had spies in the US, they had still caught an American spy nonetheless. The document says "After extensive questioning by the KGB, Powers was convicted of spying and sentenced to three years in prison and seven more of hard labor." This shows that the trial did take place and the spy plane really was a spy, so the Soviets did what they were supposed to do and imprisoned the man. Later on though, there was a prisoner trade that would help settle disputes
