can you explain the dread scott case? i dont get it in my text book it says he went to court.

anonymous · Answer

In the Dred Scott decision, the Court held that people who had been slaves, or who descended from slaves, were not protected by the Constitution and could never be US citizens. Without citizenship status, African-Americans were denied access to the courts, and couldn't sue for their freedom, even if they had a contractual agreement granting them free status. 

The Supreme Court also ruled that Congress had no right to prohibit slavery, nullifying the Missouri Compromise.
