Even fewer have attracted such a widespread and persistent attention from scholars across academic disciplines. The Dred Scott Case: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives on Race and Law presents the latest product of such an attention. The volume is a collection of essays originally presented at a Washington University symposium to commemorate the case’s 150th anniversary. Divided into four categories, the 14 essays explore the history of the case and its historical and contemporary implications. As far as the historical details or constitutional interpretations of the case are concerned, little new ground has been broken, but these essays have collectively expanded the context of the case and greatly enriched our understanding of its impact, then and now.

  • Pennsylvania Colonization Society As an Agent of Emancipation
    Rethinking Northern White Support for the African Colonization Movement: The Pennsylvania Colonization Society as an Agent of Emancipation N 1816 WHITE REFORMERS WHO HOPED to transport black Americans to Africa established the American Colonization Society (ACS). Over the next ten years, the ACS founded the colony of Liberia and organized scores of state and local auxiliary associations across the United States. Among these was the Pennsylvania Colonization Society (PCS), which was formed in 1826. For those PCS supporters who envisioned the group sending the Keystone State's black population to Liberia, decades of disappointment were forthcoming. Between 1820 and 1860 the number of African Americans in Pennsylvania grew from thirty thousand to fifty-seven thousand. During the same period, less than three hundred of the state's black residents moved to Africa. The PCS nevertheless remained a vibrant and conspic- uous institution. But if the organization rarely sent black Pennsylvanians to Liberia, what did it do to advance the colonization cause?' 1 The standard work on the ACS is P. J. Staudenraus, The African Colonization Movement, 1816-1865 (New York, 1961). For black Pennsylvanians, see Joe William Trotter Jr. and Eric Ledell Smith, eds., African Americans in Pennsylvania: Shifting HistoricalPerspectives (University Park, Pa., 1997); Julie Winch, Philadelphia'sBlack Elite: Activism, Accommodation, and the Struggle for Autonomy, 1787-1848 (Philadelphia, 1988); and Julie Winch, ed., The Elite of Our People:Joseph Willson's Sketches of Black Upper-Class Life in Antebellum Philadelphia (University Park, Pa., 2000).

Jackson: Dred Scott v. Sandford: A Prelude to the Civil War DRED SCOTT V SANDFORD: A PRELUDE TO THE CIVIL WAR FaithJoseph Jackson I. INTRODUCTION One hundred and fifty years after the end of the Civil War, historians have yet to wholly reconcile the dueling narratives of the War's cause, meaning, and repercussions.' Those still fighting the South's cause claim it was mainly a dispute addressing states' rights.2 Others believe this argument to be a mask designed to sublimate sla- very's role as the foremost reason for Southern secession. 3 Perhaps equally as important as slavery's cultural and economic implications are its pre and post-Civil War legislative and judicial consequences. Notably, the Dred Scott4 case provides both a textual source to ex- amine the societal, political, and legal turmoil surrounding this issue, and a tangible historical moment at which the War became an inevi- tability.5 Though it remains a tarnish on the institution of our high- est court, the Dred Scott case may have been a necessary evil on the route to ending the deeply entrenched establishment of slavery in this country.

  • In 1857, the Supreme Court Addressed a Case in Which a Slave
    Name:__________________________________________________________ Date:____________ Class:_______ Content Reading Guide: The Antebellum Era (1781-1860): Slavery Divides the Nation Part 3 In 1857, the Supreme Court addressed a case in which a slave, Dred Scott, asserted that he should be set free, since his master had brought him to Illinois, a free area. In the Supreme Court decision, the Dred Scott Decision, it was ruled that Dred Scott, a slave, did not have the rights of a citizen to demand his freedom. The Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice Roger Taney, asserted that Dred Scott would not be set free. This was a major setback for the Abolitionist Movement. Also in this time, the Lincoln-Douglas Debates occurred. The issue at hand was how to bring in new states to the USA and how these new states would manage the issue of slavery in their areas. During their race against each other for the Senate Seat of Illinois, Stephen Douglas and Abraham Lincoln heavily debated this issue dealing with slavery. Neither Lincoln nor Douglas wanted slavery in the new territories, but they disagreed on how states should manage the issue themselves. Douglas felt the states should get to decide the issue for themselves, which is called popular sovereignty. Lincoln argued against Douglas that popular sovereignty could work because of the Dred Scott Decision. The Dred Scott Decision asserted slaves could not seek freedom, even in free areas, if their masters brought them from the South. Lincoln contended that, if slaves could not seek freedom, popular sovereignty could not give citizens the ability to choose freedom for all slaves living in free states.
