Dred Scott was a slave in the state of Missouri. From 1833 to 1843, Scott resided in Illinois (a free state) and in an area of the Louisiana Territory, where slavery was forbidden by the Missouri Compromise of 1820. (which was pass on March 1, 1820) this law eradicted slavery in the Louisiana Territory north of the 36Β° 30Β΄ latitude line. After going back to the state of Missouri, Scott sued unfortunately in a 7 votes for Sandford, 2 vote(s) against that the Missouri courts for his freedom, claiming that his residence in free territory made him a free man. Dred Scott then brought a new suit in federal court.

Stopped watching around 14 minthat c00n was talking too muck trash
i have mixed feelings... so I'll let you all talk.
The Dred Scott case was the most important case in the history of the United States until the Brown vs. Board decision (I still think Dred Scott was more significant. When Dred Scott was degraded by the racist American court system, it sent shockwaves throughout the nation. Slaveowners were saying "See??? I can take my property WHEREVER I want to go, so fukk the Missouri Compromise line!" and abolitionists were saying that the U.S. government is corrupt and violating human rights...plus you bring in the South's wanting to expand slavery everywhere and the Dred Scott case ignited an already brewing storm of white racial hegemony. One man, one case, one decision. Civil War. it was gonna happen sooner or later, but this case sped up the war
Dammit! You are right my bad! I'm doing three things at once so I was just typing. Yea Plessy was important as well because it established American apartheid as legal...damn, I slipped up on that one lol...good catch
The makeup of the Scott v. Sandford was more diverse. Two individuals were Chesapeake aristocrats (Daniel and Taney ), two were Appalachians (McLean and Catron), two were Yankees ( Nelson and Curtis), two were Southerners (Campbell and Wayne), and one was a Mid-lander (Grier). Only Curtis and McLean were said to dissented from the Court's ruling, though the only people to agree on the same interpretation of the case were Grier and Nelson.
just some to ponder Lincolns treatment view towards Taney

It definitely was one of the first. Funny thing is Popular sovereignty is one of the biggest smokescreen lies in the constitution.

expound on this a bit.
To me Dred always reminded me of the crakkheads on my block.. but that was before crack. So life must have been very hard for brothers back then.
Anyway:
The United States Supreme Court in this case decided that no person of African ancestry could claim citizenship of the United States.
This case lets us know everything we needed to know about this nation and though it may not seem like this statement still holds true.... it is still true. We are fooling ourselves.
He tried to purchase his freedom.. He earned the money to buy himself and his daughters and wife... and still couldn't buy it. The state he lived in had slavery as something illegal to do. And he still was told he could not sue. Later on... EVEN Calvin Chaffee who was supposedly opposed to slavery (just like the cac today who we believe are our allys) tried to send Dred back to the original family that owned him.
That says everything to me about our position in this nation from the 1600- 2014.
