What is now considered the worst Supreme Court ruling of all time, Dred Scott v. Sandford was a decision that sought to end the controversy over slavery that had raged since the Compromise of 1850. By ruling that Congress had no legal power to prohibit slavery in the territories, Chief Justice Roger B. Taney poured gasoline on the fire that was dividing the nation.
Chris Calton gives a revisionist look at the antebellum period leading up to the Civil War. This is the tenth episode in the second season of Historical Controversies.
