Supreme Court cases of the American Civil War : ウィキペディア英語版 | Supreme Court cases of the American Civil War
A number of cases were tried before the Supreme Court of the United States during the period of the American Civil War. These cases focused on wartime civil liberties, and the ability of the various branches of the government to alter them. The following cases were among the most significant. ==Pre-war==
* ''Ex parte Bollman'' (1807) was an early case that made many important arguments about the power of the Supreme Court, as well as the constitutional definition of treason. * ''Dred Scott v. Sandford'' (1857) Dred Scott, a slave owned by a Dr. Emerson, was taken from Missouri to a free state and then back to Missouri again. Scott sued, claiming that his residence in a free territory granted him freedom. In a 7-2 vote, the Supreme Court decided that Congress did not have the power to prohibit slavery in the territories, making the already repealed Missouri Compromise of 1820 unconstitutional. Furthermore, the Court went on to state that blacks were not citizens of the United States and could not become citizens and therefore they could not sue in a court.
