What was the impact of the dred scott case in dividing the nation?

1 answer:

6 0

The Dred Scott vs. Sandford case was monumental in America, as it stated that slaves had no rights which their owners were bound to respect. Along with this, it also stated that slaves are property and can be brought into free states.

This case causes significant divide between the nation. The southern states and those individuals with slaves see this as a victory, as they can now take their slaves wherever they want without the fear of these individuals becoming free men. On the other hand, abolitionists and states who outlawed slavery are furious. This is because they now have to allow slave owners to keep their slaves in a state where they do not want slavery. This case resulted in a bigger divide between those for slavery and those against slavery.
