Black History Month 2024 - The Dred Scott Case 

All history matters.

Home, Sweet Home!!!!!!!!!! I Literally Live, Back There, Downtown!!!!!!!!!!!!

In 1958 as a (white) student at the University of Georgia I chose the Dred Scott case as a research topic for a paper to be orally presented in my history class. My position was that it was an unfair ruling and that Scott was a free man as should all people, no matter their race, be full citizens of the United States. My argument was not well received.

Why we don’t have White History Month

Please do a video on the first case brought to court about slavery in the US, perhaps if that fellow lost his case we would have had a different history. The first slave owner probably saw it as a "normal" considering his homeland saw slavery as normal. He was from Angola by the way. He had three indendured servents, he was trying to cheat the black indentured servent into serving more time on his contract. Sad, but true.

Thank you. I want to learn more. This is so important to know and understand..🙏

Demographic picture in the US has changed a lot since the "abolition of slavery" but nothing really changed in top positions, the masters are the same. And Afro Americans are still serving them, let's just say it would be unimaginable for me to work for Turks, let alone put on their uniform and go to war for them as some of my ancestors were forced to when they were enslaved.

Makes you wonder if the first man that brought a case to court like this actually lost, perhaps slavery would not have been in the US. But since the first slave owner thought it was a "normal thing" to own slaves, he probably cheered in the winning of his case. Since it was a normal thing in Angola, (in Africa) he perhaps thought it was OK. Hence, first slave owner was a black man over here.

It's important to stay angry and hold on to all of those past injustices. Use that anger as motivation to vote democrat as they are the only ones who might help blacks. The democrats are the only party that has a history of helping blacks. If you don't vote Biden, you ain't black!

Preach. too many people don’t know Dred Scott or the impact it has on our history

Dude says Donald Trump is racist but yet he is over here bashing white people on TMZ, help me make that make sense?

Slavery never ended. Ownership of slaves were transferred from private individuals to the government. And these private individuals were compensated. READ THE FINE PRINT!

Bullshit

The slave owner was black... ALL the slave owners were Black! I have the slave schedules from 1850 on my community wall check them out. We also owned the land... these census records and slave schedules show we're the American Indian history speaks of.

Why don't you people ever talk about the blacks in africa that Captured and Sold other blacks in africa, africa,The Ring Leaders of Slavery during that time?

There is nobody say America has never been a racist country. Maybe take your religion out of history.
