Answer 2
Dred Scott was a slave and social activist who served several masters before suing for his freedom. His case made it to the Supreme Court (Dred Scott v. Sandford) prior to the American Civil War. The U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in the Dred Scott case struck down the Missouri Compromise as unconstitutional, maintaining that Congress had no power to forbid or abolish slavery in the territories. Taney further declared African Americans were not and could never be citizens of the United States. On April 6th, 1846, Dred Scott and his wife Harriet filed suit against Irene Emerson for their freedom. The Court ruled that no African American could be a citizen and that Dred Scott was still a slave.
