dred scott case
On June 19th 1862 the US Congress prohibits slavery in the United States territories nullifying the Dred Scott
Case. This was the most important day in US history for African Americans. This is because it helped blacks gain
the rights they deserve. It also gave them rights they never thought they could achieve. This Court case of Scott
vs. Sanford was a catalyst to riots, other court cases such as Brown vs. Board of Education, Rachel vs. Walker and
many acts and amendments resulted from one mans wish to be free. Dred Scott was a slave to the Emerson
family of Missouri. Emerson soon died in 1846 making Scott sue for his freedom. He soon lost the case in a state
court, but shortly after he was introduced to a national court. Scott Soon after lost the case again but then was
later considered free man. This case caused many good things to occur, and many things bad to occur. Some of
these things include the strengthening of the Republican Party in opposition to the courts decision; and it increased
the abolitionist to get rid of slavery which eventually leads to the civil war. There are also some negatives to the
Dred Scott Case like how it eventually led to the Panic of 1857. As well caused fights like Bleeding Kansas.
Even the system of checks and balances was hurt by the Dred Scott Case. This case played a major role in how
African Americans live today and how they are accepted among people. Without the efforts of Dred Scott and the
people who followed in his footsteps there would be no way African Americans can live with the freedom and
rights they have today because of the Dred Scott Case. Scott in addition caused people to really understand what
life was like back then and how he stood up for what he thought was right. With the help of others Scott was able
to obtain his freedom and in the process of that he managed to cause an epidemic of black movements and other
people to do what they thought
