∙ 8y agoDredd Scott had been a slave in the antebellum era of the United States. When his owner died and Scott had been living in states were there as no slavery, he sued to become a free man and not to be an inheritance of his late owners wife. After years of litigation his case came to the US Supreme Court. In 1857, the Court ruled that Scott was still a slave, and because he was Black, could never become a US citizen. The Court also ruled that Scott, not being a citizen, could not seek redress in the US court system. The Court ruled that in a paraphrase, that slavery was legal in the US and that Congress or states could not pass laws concerning slavery until the US Constitution was amended.
