This guide provides access to digital materials at the Library of Congress, external websites, and a print bibliography. Introduction The Supreme Court decision Dred Scott v. Sandford was issued on March 6, 1857. Delivered by Chief Justice Roger Taney, this opinion declared that African Americans were not citizens of the United States and could not sue in Federal courts. Furthermore, this decision declared that the Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional and that Congress did not have the authority to prohibit slavery in the territories. The Dred Scott decision was overturned by the 13th and 14th Amendments to the Constitution. Library of Congress Research Guides

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OazGts1xC9w Mar 21, 2017 The Dred Scott v. Sandford case of 1857 was brought to the Supreme Court just four years before the start of the Civil War. Dred Scott sued his master for his freedom and Judge Robert Taney ultimately ruled two things. First, African Americans were not citizens and had no right to sue in court. Second, Congress did not have the constitutional authority to ban slavery from the states. This case is considered one of the worst rulings in the history of the Supreme Court.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9m-0HGFbtxA&t May 17, 2017 Beginning in 1846, Dred Scott sought freedom for himself and his slave family, contending that they gained that right when they lived temporarily in Illinois, a free state, and could not then be returned to slavery when they returned to Scott's former home in Missouri, a slave state. In one of the most noted cases in American history, the U.S. Supreme Court in 1857 rejected this "once free, always free" doctrine, stating that slaves were not "citizens" entitled to the rights guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution. The ruling sowed the seeds for years of bloody civil war and threatened preservation of the Union.
