The Supreme Court has been Wrong before!

March 6, 1857

Dred Scott v. Sanford

On this day in 1857, the Supreme Court ruled that people of African descent brought into the United States and held as slaves (or their descendants, whether or not they were slaves) were not protected by the Constitution and could never be U.S. citizens.
