Synopsis

Legal and Historical Status of the Dred Scott Decision, by Elbert William Robinson Ewing, offers a detailed examination of one of the most controversial legal cases in United States history. This book delves into the historical context and legal ramifications of the 1857 Supreme Court decision that denied citizenship to enslaved people and declared the Missouri Compromise unconstitutional.

Ewing meticulously reconstructs the history of the case, from its origins to the delivery of the Supreme Court's opinion. He provides an in-depth analysis of the legal arguments, the political climate, and the social impact of the ruling. This book serves as an essential resource for understanding the complexities of American legal history and the enduring legacy of the Dred Scott decision on issues of race, citizenship, and constitutional interpretation.
