chapter10estrada

I wrote about Dred Scott. I was interested about Dred Scott because of his story. He was an African American who was a slave here in the states. His owner moved them to a free state. When Dred was not set free he sued the government for his freedom. The US was trying to avoid getting the south anymore angry so they ruled against Dred Scott. They ruled that because he was from Africa and was not an American Citizen so he was not aloud to sue a country that he was not apart of. I thought this showed that the government was willing to take a life just for the sake of compromising and trying to make the North and the South happy. Photo "Dred Scott." //Wikipedia //.
