"The Dred Scott decision of March 6, 1857, brought to a head the tension surrounding the issue of slavery in the United States. In the case, the Supreme Court ruled that Scott was still a slave, and therefore, and no right to file suit in a United States court as he was not a citizen and did not have the rights of such."
