Slavery was an issue during the construction and ratification of the US Constitution in 1789. By not having the Constitution abolish slavery, the States were left to decide to the slavery issue.The Dred Scott case never was asked if slavery was legal, but its full blown decision on Black citizenship and other matters related to slavery was a sad victory for all those Americans who were against slavery.
