Slavery was an issue during the construction and ratification of the US Constitution in 1789. By not having the Constitution abolish slavery, the States were left to decide to the slavery issue.The Dred Scott case never was asked if slavery was legal, but its full blown decision on Black citizenship and other matters related to slavery was a sad victory for all those Americans who were against slavery.

What did the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act the Supreme Court's Dred Scott decision and John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry have in common?

The Kansas-Nebraska Act, the Supreme Court's Dred Scott decision, and John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry all significantly contributed to escalating tensions over slavery in the United States. Each event highlighted the deep divisions between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions, with the Act allowing for popular sovereignty, the Dred Scott decision denying African Americans any legal standing, and Brown's raid symbolizing militant abolitionism. Together, they intensified the national debate on slavery and set the stage for the Civil War.
