Slavery in America
Slavery was a prevalent practice in the United States from its founding in 1776 up until 1865. Slavery was mostly carried out by white males on Africans and African Americans.
The southern states of the united states accounted for most of the slavery that occurred at that time. This was because the southern economy was largely an agrarian economy and hence, large farm owners needed more people to work on their farms and this gave rise to the transatlantic slave trade. Slaves were usually hardworking, obedient and they were not usually paid for the job they did.
Dred Scott was one of the enslaved people in the state of Missouri.
In US history, the Supreme Court’s ruling on March 6, 1857, that having lived in a free state and territory did not entitle an enslaved person, Dred Scott, to his freedom. In essence, the decision argued that, as someone’s property, Scott was not a citizen and could not sue in a federal court.
