Dred Scott Case Opens Path to Civil War in St Louis
The St Louis court decision in the Dred Scott case began the chain of events leading to the Civil War. Scott claimed freedom after residing in free territory, but the Missouri court ruling freed him, reversed, and the U S Supreme Court under Chief Justice Taney later ruled Scott a slave, declaring Congress had no power to ban slavery north of 36 30. This overturned the Missouri Compromise and historians say the Civil War became inevitable.
