4.9/5 (15421 ratings)

Description:Originally published in 1907 in the author’s larger “Decisive Battles of the Law,” this Kindle edition, equivalent in length to a physical book of approximately 16 pages, describes U.S. slave Dred Scott’s suit for freedom and the controversial 1857 Supreme Court decision that proved to be a contributing factor to the onset of the Civil War. Sample passage: Up to this point there is no evidence that any political party was behind the suit, but not long after Mr. Field filed his appeal the anxious leaders of the South, alarmed by the clamor of their opponents for the restoration of the Missouri Compromise, awoke to its political possibilities. Here was a case actually on the docket of the highest legal tribunal, in which the Missouri Compromise was invoked to sustain the freedom of a Negro who had resided in the territory which it had dedicated to freedom. A better chance to declare the Compromise and all similar restrictions against slavery unconstitutional could not possibly have been provided. About the author: Frederick Trevor Hill (1866–1930) was an author and historian. Other works include “Lincoln, the Lawyer,” “On the Trail of Grant and Lee,” and “The Accomplice.”We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
