内容简介

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.
