then they should also teach Dred Scott. By 7-2, the Supreme Court in 1857 found that neither Scott, his wife, nor any other person of African ancestry could claim citizenship in the United States. So a massive war, followed by the Fourteenth Amendment in 1868, was required to restore basic sanity.
Dred Scott was decided based in political rather than fundamental (Constitutional and basic human rights) reasoning. |
