So the Dred Scott decision was a supreme court case were the man dred scott tried to sue his owner because he (Dred Scott) had once lived in a free state and he wanted to be free. The judge then ruled that slaves are property not people and thus cannot sue. This court case voided out the missouri compromise and partially started the civil war.

fun fact that my history teacher told us today was that slaves werent given tombstones unless they died free like Fredrick Douglass but Scott was so important he got one! Dred scott died a slave
