The Dred Scott case, decided by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1857, ruled that enslaved individuals could not be considered citizens and therefore had no legal standing to sue in federal court. This decision effectively upheld the institution of slavery, declaring that Congress had no authority to prohibit slavery in the territories, thus inflaming tensions between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions. The ruling galvanized abolitionist movements and contributed to the rising sectional conflict that ultimately led to the Civil War.
