Dred Scott

-

Dred Scott Dred Scott (born 1795, 17 September 1858), a slave who reached the United States Supreme Court before the United States Supreme Court.

Dred Scott was born in Virginia as a Blow family. In 1830 he left Virginia and was sold to Dr. John Emerson. Dred Scott and his master lived in states that forbade slavery (Illinois and Wisconsin). In 1842 Dr. Emerson settled in Missouri (slave state), one year later he died. Scott was inherited from Jan F. Sanford.

For ten years (1847-1857) Dred Scott fought in court for his recognition of being free. He argued that he had ceased to be a slave because he lived with his master in the free state. Eventually, in 1857, the case was filed before the Supreme Court. The court rejected its arguments (7 votes to 2), recognizing that the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution prohibits the deprivation of their property, and that one of the types of property subject to constitutional protection is the property of slaves. The court also held that blacks are not entitled to US citizenship and that they can not be US citizenship as a "lower breed". The decision was met with massive criticism from the newly formed Republican Party. It was also the subject of one of Abraham Lincoln's pre-election debates with Stephen Douglas in 1858.

The verdict completely lost power after the Congress passed and ratified the thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution (banning slavery) and the Fourteenth Amendment (automatically granting all citizens of the United States citizenship as well as the state in which they were born). The thirteenth amendment has been in force since 1865 and the 14th since 1868. Authoritative control (person):
