The Compromise of 1850 was supposed to be the final compromise between the sections…
and it was – just for different reasons than Clay had intended.

Dred Scott v. Sandford
FACTS OF THE CASE:Dred Scott, a slave, lived with his master in free territory for two years.
Scott claimed this made him a free man.
(1857)
![Page 29: The Road to Civil War (USHC 3.1)](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032711/5879c3db1a28abb42a8b5b31/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
THE DECISION:1. People of African descent
(incl. Scott) could not be U.S. citizens.
2. Congress can’t forbid slavery in federal territories (violation of property rights)– Ergo, the Missouri
Compromise is Unconstitutional Judicial Activism
