Dredd Scott v. Sandford,[a] 60 U.S. (19 How.) 393 (1857), was a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court during which the Court held that the us Constitution wasn't meant to include American citizenship for people of African descent, regardless of whether or not they were enslaved or free, so the rights and privileges that the Constitution confers upon Americans couldn't apply to them. The Supreme Court's decision has been widely denounced, both for the way overtly racist the selection was and its crucial role within the beginning of the American war four years later. Legal scholar Bernard Schwartz stated that "stands on top in any list of the worst Supreme Court decisions". Judge Charles Evans Hughes called it the Court's "greatest self-inflicted wound". Historian Junius P. Rodriguez stated that "universally condemned because the U.S. Supreme Court's worst decision ever." Historian David Thomas Konig mentioned it as "unquestionably, our court's worst decision ever." this choice was made on the case Dredd Scott, an enslaved blackamoor whose owners had taken him from Missouri, a slave-holding state, into Illinois and also the Wisconsin Territory, where slavery was illegal. When one among his owners later brought him back to the Missouri, Scott sued in court for his freedom and legal claimed it because he had been taken into "free" U.S. territory, he had automatically been freed and was legally not a slave. Scott also sued them first in Missouri state court, which ruled that he was still a slave under its law. He then sued in U.S. tribunal, which ruled against him by mentioning that it had to use Missouri law to the case. He then appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
This marked as one of the Historical cases ever made and memorable for Africans.
