No references found | 2 The Dred Scott decision: "Instead of saying once set free, always set free, the Supreme Court said that blacks are not persons, and therefore cannot file lawsuits and enjoy no protection of the law. Judge Dred by Reason Sanford, involved a slave named Dred Scott who was taken into free territory where he sued for his freedom on the grounds that being on free soil resulted in his emancipation. Jones claims, however, that the Fugitive Slave Act, the Passenger Cases, and the Dred Scott Case, which compromised black community life and encouraged some members of the black community and their white abolitionist allies to separate the cause of blacks from that of women, muted demands for female equality in the 1850s. |
