Scott v. Sanford
, 1857
Slide6Dred Scott
Dred Scott was a former slave owned by a U.S. Army doctor that had moved from Illinois and Wisconsin to Missouri
Scott sued for his freedom because Illinois and Wisconsin were free states
Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger
Tanney
said Scott was not free for two reasons
One he had no right to sue because he was black
Two he was considered property!
Tanney
even went further to declare that Congress had no power to prohibit slavery and the Missouri Compromise was therefore unconstitutional

Slide7Reaction
The South and all supporters of slavery were dancing in the streets!
Most Northerners and abolitionists were appalled!
However, this decision lit the fire for many people who were undecided on the issue and gave rise to fuel the fire for the Lincoln-Douglas debates.

Popular Sovereignty?
Douglas was not for slavery, just popular sovereignty
Made Lincoln out to be an abolitionist
Was not for race equality, but so no reason why blacks should not have rights spelled out in D.O.I.
