Dred Scott v Sanford (11 feb 1856 anni – 6 marzo 1857 anni)
Descrizione:
Dred Scott was a Virginia slave who tried to sue for his freedom in court. The legal action eventually rose to the level of the Supreme Court, where the justices found that, as a slave, Dred Scott was not a person but rather a piece of property that came with none of the legal rights or respect afforded to a human being. This case was another example of the lengthening divide between southern and northern America.
