dred scott case thesis!!?

Question

can anyone think of a few facts that support the thesis that the dred scott case was a principal cause of the civil war

Answer 1

The actual answer to your question is that it did not contribute to the cause of the Civil War. It merely reflected the Constitution as it was commonly interpreted at the time. If the court had found in favor of Dred Scott then it may very well have been a causitive factor in the Civil War.
