mar 6, 1857 - Dred Scott Court Decision

Description:

This court case began when Dred Scott sued his owner for his freedom. In court, he was told that he was property and that freedmen are not citizens. This caused more tension between free and slave states because it helped the South to push pro-slavery and hurt the abolitionist movement.
