The Dred Scott v. Sandford decision in 1857 led to the ruling that African Americans could not be U.S. citizens and that the federal government could not regulate slavery in the territories. This decision further divided the nation on the issue of slavery, contributing to the tensions that eventually led to the Civil War.
Slavery Has Been Around For A Long Time. It Is Believed That It Started At The Beginning Of The Human Race. People Believed That They Could Force others to Do Anything they Desired. Hope This helps :)
Lincoln did not like slavery. He could see the injustice of keeping people in involuntary servitude , buying and selling them like cattle. However, he also believed in constitutional law and legal precedent which protected the institution of slavery and was not an abolitionist who believed that slavery should abolished by violent action. He hoped to find a peaceful to end slavery, perhaps by having the government buy the slaves and send to some foreign country as free men.

The Dred Scott decision declared that enslaved people were not citizens and could not sue in federal court, effectively denying them any legal rights. This decision also stated that Congress could not prohibit slavery in the territories, further solidifying the institution of slavery in the United States. This was a blow to those who opposed the extension of slavery because it limited the federal government's ability to regulate or restrict slavery's spread to new territories.
True. There were some northerners who believed that if slavery remained in the South and did not spread to the new territories, it could eventually die out on its own. This viewpoint was known as "free soil" or "free labor" and was held by some abolitionists and moderate opponents of slavery.
