Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sandford, a decade-long search for liberty by an enslaved black man named Dred Scott. The litigation continued through multiple tribunals and finally entered the U.S. The Supreme Court, whose ruling incensed abolitionists, brought the anti-slavery campaign traction and served as a turning stone to the Civil War.
