Dred Scott v. Sandford 60 U.S. 393 (1857) was a landmark decision by the U.S. Supreme Court in which the Court held that African Americans whether slave or free could not be American citizens and therefore had no standing to sue in federal court and that the federal government had no power to regulate slavery in the federal territories acquired after the creation of the United States.
