Dred Scott v. Sanford
The Supreme Court decision in Dred Scott v. Sanford (1857) ruled that African Americans were not citizens and therefore could not sue in federal court. Additionally, the Court declared that the Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional, as it violated the Fifth Amendment rights of slave owners by depriving them of their property.
The Supreme Court decision in Dred Scott v. Sanford outraged Northerners because it ruled that African Americans could not be U.S. citizens and that Congress could not ban slavery in the territories. This decision was seen as a blow to the abolitionist movement and reinforced the perception that the federal government was siding with pro-slavery interests.
