St Louis Court Decision Sparked Dred Scott Civil War Link
The St Louis Star Times recounts how Dred Scott first claimed freedom in the old courthouse in St Louis, a case that moved from Missouri circuit court to the U.S. Supreme Court. Chief Justice Taney ruled Scott a slave, stating Congress could not ban slavery north of 36 degrees 30 minutes, undermining the Missouri Compromise and helping push the nation toward Civil War.

Early Franking Privilege Origin Story
The franking privilege, pre dating the Constitution, began with an ordinance of 1782 by the Continental Congress. It allowed letters, packages, and dispatches from members and secretaries on official business to be mailed without postage. The privilege has since continued and expanded to other government officials and departments.
