Perhaps no other Supreme Court decision has had the political impact of Dred Scott v. Sandford. Using a variety of documents that reflect regional opinions and political debates, Paul Finkelman examines the 1857 decision that helped set in motion the events that eventually led to a new birth of freedom and the abolition of slavery in the United States.
"An insightful piece of work on a compelling subject, this book will be an extremely valuable addition to an already excellent series of books for the classroom." — Robert C. Kenser, University of Richmond
