The Dred Scott decision by the Supreme Court came first (1857).
It was one of the causes of the Civil War, as it heightened the tensions between the two sections.
The secession of the first Southern state, South Carolina, (December 1860) was a more immediate trigger. Six states followed, and then Confederate gunners fired on a U.S. Army garrison in Charleston Harbour - the first shots of the war.
