1.Rushi Patel 2.Dred Scott vs. Sandford*(1857) *Originally spelled Sanford(Supreme Court misspelled Name.) 3.Scott was a slave in Missouri, one of the only states during his time to allow slavery, due to a past compromise. Scott argued his case because the doctrine, or principle, of Missouri was "once free, always free." He thought that he should be free under it. Scott had to try this case twice, once in 1850 and once in 1857, he lost the first time on a technicality. 4. Sanford's lawyers argued their case, saying Dred Scott wasn't a citizen and couldn't argue his case, and that he was a piece of property according to the Missouri compromise. This led the Supreme Court to rule against Scott. 5.This meant that Scott could not sue his slave owner and was still a slave. The country was now in uproar at the verdict, this ultimately led to the Civil War, four years later.Sadly he died a year later.

The case Jones vs. Alfred H. Mayor is about a developer in 1968 who refused to sell Joseph Jones a home because he was black. Jones then sued the company for the violation of the 1866 Civil Rights Act, and the violation of the thirteenth amendment.
