The Thirteenth Amendment
The Dred Scott decision
14th amendment
The Dred Scott decision stated that people of African decent imported to America were not citizens and not protected by the Constitution. The fourteenth and fifteenth amendments nullified that decision.
In the Dred Scott v. Sandford decision of 1857, the Supreme Court ruled that enslaved African American Dred Scott could not sue for his freedom because he was not considered a citizen under the Constitution. The Court also declared that Congress lacked the authority to prohibit slavery in the territories, effectively nullifying the Missouri Compromise. This decision heightened tensions over slavery in the United States and is often cited as a catalyst for the Civil War.
