The Case of Dred Scott

![Page 26: THE NATION BREAKING APART Ch. 15 Growing Tensions Between North and South](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032701/56649c8f5503460f94947f32/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Dred Scott v. Sandford
• Case reaches Supreme Court• Said Dred Scott was a slave, not a citizen,
so he could not sue in U.S. courts• Also rules that Congress could not ban
slavery in the territories– This would violate slaveholders’ 5th
Amendment property rights
• Huge setback for abolitionist movement!!
![Page 27: THE NATION BREAKING APART Ch. 15 Growing Tensions Between North and South](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032701/56649c8f5503460f94947f32/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Dred Scott v. Sandford
“The language of the Declaration of Independence is equally Conclusive: ...
We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed
by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among them is life, liberty, and the pursuit
of happiness; that to secure these rights, Governments are instituted, deriving their just
powers from the consent of the governed.
![Page 28: THE NATION BREAKING APART Ch. 15 Growing Tensions Between North and South](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032701/56649c8f5503460f94947f32/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Dred Scott v. Sandford
The general words above quoted would seem to embrace the whole human
family, and if they were used in a similar instrument at this day would be so understood. But it is too clear for
dispute, that the enslaved African race were not intended to be included, and
formed no part of the people who framed and adopted this declaration…..
![Page 29: THE NATION BREAKING APART Ch. 15 Growing Tensions Between North and South](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032701/56649c8f5503460f94947f32/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Dred Scott v. Sandford
…Yet the men who framed this declaration were great men -- high in literary acquirements -- high in their sense of honor, and incapable of asserting principles inconsistent with those on which they were acting. They perfectly understood the meaning of the language they used, and how it would be understood by others; and they knew that it would not in any part of the civilized world be supposed to embrace the negro race”

"A house divided against itself cannot stand." I believe this government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved-I do not expect the house to fall-but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing, or all the other.”
-Abraham Lincoln, Springfield, Illinois, June16, 1858
