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.This lead Congress and the states to ratify the Thirteenth Amendment, outlawing slavery, as well as the 14th and 15th Amendment that conferred civil rights and suffrage to former slaves (only males had the right to vote at that time).* The name Sanford is misspelled as Sandford in US ReportsCase Citation:Dred Scott v.
