Did the 13th Amendment explicitly overrule Dred Scott v Sandford?
No. The 13th amendment does prohibit slavery but i was not a amendment at the time until 8 years after the case. Dred Scott did not win the case and became property of his owner again.Another Perspective:By the time the Thirteenth Amendment was ratified in 1865, Dred Scott had been dead seven years, so he didn't personally benefit from the change. The Thirteenth Amendment set aside the precedent established in Dred Scott v. Sandford, (1857), however, so yes, you could say it overturned the Dred Scott decision because the ruling could no longer be applied, enforced or cited as precedent in future cases.Case Citation:Dred Scott v. Sandford*, 60 US 393 (1857)
