Racism in the Supreme Court: Dissecting Prigg v. Pennsylvania and the Dred Scott Case

Описание к видео Racism in the Supreme Court: Dissecting Prigg v. Pennsylvania and the Dred Scott Case

The institution of slavery hung over constitutional development in the early American republic, driving sectional division and leading ultimately to Civil War. In this lecture, professor Rick Tepker explores two cases – Prigg v. Pennsylvania and the Dred Scott case – which shaped constitutional jurisprudence in the antebellum period. He discusses how both of these notorious decisions ironically galvanized abolition and contributed to the election of Abraham Lincoln.
