How did white northerners react to the dred Scott decision?
In 1846, slave Dred Scott sued his master, Irene Emerson, for the freedom of himself and his family. Tragically, the Supreme Court ruled that Scott was still a slave and that Africans in the United States could never be US citizens. While the South was alright with this decision, Northern Republicans were outraged. It only served to fuel the fire that eventually lead to emancipation.

Why did Lincoln wait two years before freeing the slaves?
ANSWERThe Emancipation Proclamation was instituted at a time during the war when the north was losing and it was used to create unrest in the south. The slaves weren't freed they were only freed in the south. The last 2 states to give up their slaves were Ohio and Delaware 2 years after the war. Gen. Lee inherited 50 slaves and released them 10 years before the war started. Gen. Grant was forced to free his slaves. The civil war was not fought over slavery it was fought over individual states rights.
