Building where Dred Scott was decided
The Dred Scott Case was heard in this Building, the St Louis Federal District
Courthouse, on our Parade Route.  The Decision handed down in St Louis said that "Slave Owners Property Rights ( in other words, the Owners rights to their property, the slaves ) trumped the slaves' Human Rights !

One of the most important cases ever tried in the United States was heard in St. Louis' Old Courthouse. Supreme Court decision in 1857, and hastened the start of the Civil War. John Emerson died the following year, and it is believed that Mrs. Emerson hired out Dred and Harriet Scott to work for other families.
