Army Officer.2. Moved to Illinois (Free
State)3. Moved to Wisconsin (Free
State)4. Moved back to Missouri…
Does Dred Scott deserve his freedom because he spent 17 years in free states?
Dred Scott DecisionChief Justice Roger B. Taney said:
1. Scott is property, not a citizen therefore he has no legal basis to bring a lawsuit.
2. States or Federal government cannot take people’s PROPERTY away without due process of law.
3. Congress cannot ban slavery as it is Constitutional.
…IN SHORT Slavery is Constitutional.
NOT BY THE SUPREME COURT!
Lincoln and DouglassCongressional Debates of 1858
Slavery is wrong but there is no easy way of eliminating it. The real goal is to stop the spread of slavery.
I dislike slavery but it is best resolved by the will of the people in each state. Let Popular Sovereignty decide the issue.
Lincoln Douglass Debates•Met 7 Times between August and October of 1858.•Lincoln loses the election but gains a national reputation.
“The real issue is between men who think slavery is wrong and those who do not think it wrong. The Republicans think it wrong.”
