Description:
|
The story of Dred Scott is really three stories in one. First, there is the story of a slave, Dred Scott, struggling hard to gain his freedom through the courts and eventually taking his case to the United States Supreme Court. The second story is about the Supreme Court, its role in interpreting the Constitution and federal law, and the limits of its power to resolve political problems. The third story is about the politics of slavery and the coming of the Civil War. The Supreme Court decision sparked enormous political reaction. It destroyed any chance of agreement between the North and the South over slavery in the territories.
