LAD #18: Dred Scott Decision

The decision of the Supreme Court was that slaves are property and the Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional. The Supreme Court refused to act of the case because property could not sue, and since Dred Scott was a slave, a slaves were property, he had no right to sue. This made his argument to be a free slave invalid and he was sent back to the state where he was a slave and under the mastership of his old master.
