    The United States Supreme Court issued the Dred Scott decision on March 6, 1857, which ruled that people of African descent imported into the United States and held as slaves, or their descendants - whether or not they were slaves - were not protected by the Constitution and could never be citizens of the United States. The decision also stated that the federal government did not have the power to regulate slavery and prohibit slavery in the territories. This landmark Supreme Court decision heightened sectional tensions between the North and South that would later lead to the American Civil War.
