The Dred Scott Decision of 1857
Considered one of the most controversial uses – or abuses – of power in the history of the United States Supreme Court, the 1857 Dred Scott decision intensified the conflict over slavery in America. Join us as Mark Albertson explores the Supreme Court’s decision and it’s meaningful role in Lincoln’s rise to power - and thus, the country’s inevitable decline into civil war.
