The Case of Dred Scott His owner took him to live in territories where slavery was illegal, then they returned to Missouri After his owners death Scott sued for his freedom. He argued that he was a free man because he had lived in territories where slavery was illegal Chief Justice Roger B. Taney Said that Scott wasn’t a US citizen and could not sue in US courts

Lincoln and Douglas Debate After the Dred Scott Decision the Republicans charged that the Democrats wanted to legalize slavery not only in all US territories but in all the states In 1858 Illinois Republicans nominated Abraham Lincoln to challenge Douglas for his US Senate seat
