1 maio 1857 ano - Dred Scott Decision
Descrição:
Dred Scott was a slave to an army surgeon. They lived in Illinois, which was a free state. Dred Scott went to court and argued that he should be free, because under the Missouri Compromise, slavery was prohibited. The court, however, ruled that he was still a slave. Chief Justice Taney tried to give a legal reason as to why he made his decision. The northerners did not accept his reasoning. The northerners accused Taney and President Buchanan as part of the slave-power conspiracy.
