6 mar 1857 año - Dred Scott vs. Sanford

Descripción:

Scott was a black slave who sued for his freedom since he was brought to a free territory. The Supreme Court ruled that Dred Scott was a black slave and not a citizen and couldn’t sue in a federal court. This increase sectionalism due to the North and South argueing if the decision was correct or not causing the South to secede.
