Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Supreme Court decided that black people (not just slaves) had no rights in America and therefore could not bring lawsuits before the courts. This meant that Dred Scott, as a black man, had no legal right to sue for his freedom, even though he had lived in free territory. This decision helped to fuel the tensions between the North and the South over the issue of slavery, as many in the North were outraged by the court's ruling.
