Dred+Scott-Rosa


 * I AM DRED SCOTT**


 * "How did Dred Scott Case influenced what northern people were thinking about the southern slaves?" **

My "I Am" person is Dred Scott. During the class discussion, Mr. Campbell explained to us about the significance of the Dred Scott Case, and how it led to the civil war. That's when I became interested in him. He was a brave black slave who tried to find the freedom for all black slaves. I was amazed by the fact that this black guy had the courage to fight for their freedom and their rights. I wanted to find more about this guy who tried his hardest to gain freedom. I know only one thing about Dred Scott. I know that he was a black slave who went to the Supreme Court and said "are we citizens?" Unfortunately, the decision was that the blacks are not the citizens and can never be freed. (This is know as Dred Scott Case). Since this is all I know, I am researching about this person to find out more about him! While researching, I wanted to find out about why he fought for his freedom because I saw lots of information on how Dred Scott was so miserable for his freedom. I also wanted to find out about why the southerners treated the slaves so badly.
