Dread Scott v. Sandford (1857) was the most important slave related decision in the history of the US Supreme Court. After seven years of compromise in the state of Missouri in the eve of the Civil War and 1850, this decision affected the political sector of the country, influenced free black rights, and strengthened slavery. The Missouri compromise plan was an agreement between anti-slavery and anti-slavery factions in the Congress in 1820, mainly related to the regulation of slavery in the western region. With the exception of the proposed state of Missouri, the compromise prohibits slavery in the former Louisiana region of the North North of latitude 36 ° 30 '. Its purpose is to balance the power of the parties by ensuring that the same number of slaves and free states join the United Nations.
