commentary Dred Scott

This review focuses on the influence of Dred Scott's decision in the United States. Dred Scott was originally born in Peter Blow family in Virginia. The family moved to St. Louis and sold Scott to Dr. John Emerson, a military doctor stationed in Jefferson Barracks. Scott and Emerson visited various regions to ban slavery such as Illinois and Wisconsin. This is for the compromise of Missouri state. The purpose of this compromise is to terminate the expansion of slavery, ensuing Missouri and making Illinois state free.

Summary of Dred Scott's decision: Dred Scott is a slave who seeks freedom through American legal system. In 1857, the ruling of the US Supreme Court's Dread Scott rejected his request and judged that there were no blacks. With this decision, Missouri's 1820 compromise was also invalidated and slavery restricted in certain US territories. The northern abolitionists were angry. The Dred Scott incident became a place for their meeting and contributed to the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860.

Dred Scott v. Sanford - Dred Scott is a slave in Missouri, went to Wisconsin in Free State, then returned to Missouri, claiming that the residence on his free land will no longer slaughter him. The Supreme Court adjudged Dread Scott and ruled that the Missouri compromise violated Constitutional illegal slavery in Wisconsin and other northern regions. Announcement of amnesty and reconstruction - swear allegiance to the alliance, as long as the sovereign who accepts the release of slaves is given full presidential amnesty. It also stipulates that only 10% of national voters need a pledge of loyalty to allow the country to join the league again.

In 1846, a slave who lived in St. Louis, Dread Scott appealed him and his family for liberty in a Missouri court. Eleven years later, the incident reached the Supreme Court of Dred Scott v. Sandford and the US Supreme Court dismissed Freedom's claim in 7-2 votes of Scott. The verdict had personal influence on Scott and his family, but the bill had legal, political, social and economic impacts several years before the Civil War.

Dred Scott's lawsuit and decision was a very important event that led to the outbreak of war. Slave Dred Scott moved to Illinois and lived with the owner. When Dred Scott's owner died in Illinois (Illinois state free state), Dred Scott claimed he is now free. However, the claims of his master insisted that he is now her. The case went up to the Supreme Court, and Dred Scott failed. Anti - slavery supporters are angry about this decision. They claim that this ruling is unjust because most Supreme Court judges come from the South. The court ruling is important as the slave is considered a perfect asset and clearly shows that a compromise in Missouri is now ineffective. The anger of the north contributed to the outbreak of the war
