The court, particularly in landmark cases like Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857), ruled that enslaved African Americans were not considered citizens and thus had no legal standing to sue in federal court. The decision reinforced the notion that African Americans, whether enslaved or free, were viewed as property rather than persons under the law. This ruling highlighted the systemic dehumanization and legal disenfranchisement of enslaved individuals in the United States.
Before 1700, the trade in enslaved persons from East Africa was significant but less extensive than the transatlantic slave trade. The East African slave trade primarily involved the export of enslaved individuals to the Middle East, India, and coastal regions of the Indian Ocean, with trade routes established by Arab and Swahili traders. Estimates suggest that hundreds of thousands of people were enslaved and transported, with notable centers in places like Zanzibar and Kilwa. This trade contributed to the social and economic structures in both the East African region and the destinations of the enslaved.
