The U.S. Supreme Court hands down its decision on Sanford v. Dred Scott, a case that intensified national divisions over the issue of slavery.
In 1834, Dred Scott, a slave, had been taken to Illinois, a free state, and then Wisconsin territory, where the Missouri Compromise of 1820 prohibited slavery. Scott lived in Wisconsin with his master, Dr. John Emerson, for several years before returning to Missouri, a slave state. In 1846, after Emerson died, Scott sued his master’s widow for his freedom on the grounds that he had lived as a resident of a free state and territory.

But Wilson did not want to go and over-punish Germany and this was the main problem he faced, France, Britain, and Italy rejected his peace treaty with Germany because of that.
Some points of the 14 were included on the Treaty of Versailles, but the Allies wanted Germany to accept the blame for the war and make them pay 33 billion dollars in reparations and give large parts of the German territory. This eventually caused the outbreak of WWII.
