** // Basic Information // **  ** //  The Dred Scott Decision took place in Missouri May 10th, 1847.The event lead to Dred Scott vs. Sanford. The location was in Illinois and it was a very nice room. The Northerners didn’t like being there and Dred Scott didn’t like being hired there. // **  ** // Effects on Slavery  // ** ** // People involved were the northerners, Abraham Lincoln, Dred Scott, John Sanford, Supreme Court majority, and Supreme Court Dissenting. People were involved because Dred Scott who was a slave tried the first time to sue his owner John Sanford and failed. The second time he tried he succeeded and won freedom and had rights to be a free slave. The Supreme Court was involved by disagreeing and agreeing that Dred Scott should and shouldn’t be a free slave. This event affected slavery because it called for saying slavery was legal in Missouri and Illinois. This event did help slavery because a saying says “ // ** ** // slavery was technically legal in the whole Nation even if a State had an Anti-Slavery law because it was  // ** ** //  said that if a Slave fled to a Free State then he was automatically free.”  // ** ** // Extras // ** ** // A famous quote would be “No rights which the white man was bound to respect” which states that the white man was not assured to be the next person to respect and so the white man has more rights than blacks and that whites didn’t have to respect the blacks. The Supreme Court still does exist but I’m not sure you can visit the Supreme Court anytime you want. The Supreme Court helps use decide laws, rights, and put people in jail for bad things. This isn’t fair because slaves should be free just like the white people were free from slavery. // **  ** // Interesting Facts  // ** ** // 1. // **** // The decision: Scott was still a slave.
