Yes, the Dred Scott v. Sandford decision of 1857 significantly influenced the Civil Rights Movement by reinforcing the legal framework of racial discrimination and denying citizenship rights to African Americans. The ruling declared that enslaved individuals and their descendants could not sue for their freedom and were not considered citizens. This landmark case galvanized abolitionists and highlighted the urgent need for civil rights, ultimately setting the stage for future legal and social battles for equality, including the Civil Rights Movement of the 20th century.
