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.
Abolitionists were upset with the Dred Scott decision because it effectively denied the legal status of enslaved people as U.S. citizens and ruled that Congress had no authority to prohibit slavery in federal territories. This decision not only undermined their efforts to end slavery but also reinforced the institution of slavery in the United States. It fueled their determination to fight against the spread of slavery and highlighted the deepening divisions in the nation regarding the issue. Ultimately, the ruling galvanized the abolitionist movement and heightened tensions leading up to the Civil War.
