The Dred Scott decision, issued by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1857, was inhumane because it denied African Americans, whether enslaved or free, the rights to citizenship and legal standing. The ruling stated that enslaved individuals could not sue for their freedom and reinforced the notion that they were considered property rather than human beings. This perpetuated the institution of slavery and dehumanized millions, contributing to systemic racism and social injustice that persisted long after the decision. The ruling exemplified a profound disregard for human dignity and equality.
