In the 1857 US Supreme Court case of Scott v. Stanford, the Court did allot more than simply making a decision on Dred Scott's individual case, the Court made decisions that caused strife among the nation. And, for the South, the case was decision that benefited them. Basically the Court ruled that under the US Constitution, slavery was legal and that Congress or any other political body in the US could restrict it and, that Black people, free Blacks and/or slaves could never be US citizens because they were Black.Clearly this decision helped to divide the nation.

The ruling was is that he was a slave and not a citizen couldn't sue for his release from slavery.
yes. because of the 13th admendment and also the case of dred Scott vs. Stanford
The Supreme Court interpreted the wording of the Constitution to mean that slavery was protected by law. This pleased the South as much as it displeased the North, and it appeared to invalidate all the Compromises that had kept the two sides from war.

The Dred Scott v. Sandford case in 1857 ruled that slaves were property, not citizens, and therefore could not bring a case to court. The decision further deepened the divide between the North and South on the issue of slavery.

The Supreme Court ruling in Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857) held that African Americans, whether enslaved or free, were not considered United States citizens and therefore could not sue in federal court. This decision intensified sectional conflict by reinforcing the divide between slave states and free states, fueling tensions over the expansion of slavery into new territories. The ruling was seen as a victory for pro-slavery advocates and a setback for those seeking to abolish slavery, further polarizing the nation on the issue.
In 1857, a slave who had sued his owner for freedom, based on being held a slave in a free state, was soundly defeated based on a Supreme Court ruling, because according to Justice Roger Taney, no black whether they were free or a slave was a citizen of the United States, and therefore, couldn't sue. Abolitionists were incensed by the ruling. The decision increased sectionalism and led to the Civil War.
Only you have the statements and need to answer this question because we don’t do homework. Your teacher is looking for your critical thinking skills.
The Missouri Compromise in 1820 and Compromise of 1850, and Supreme Court rulings, such as the Dred Scott decision in 1857 (during the industrial revolution), divided the country even more.
