Answer 1

The Dred Scott case (Dred Scott v. Sandford, 1857) was a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision in which the Court ruled that enslaved African American Dred Scott could not sue for his freedom because he was not a U.S. citizen, and it further declared the Missouri Compromise unconstitutional, contributing to the tensions leading up to the Civil War.
