1. Dred Scott Decision - The Supreme Court decision in Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857) that held that African Americans, whether free or enslaved, were not considered citizens and therefore could not sue in federal court.

2. Missouri Compromise - An agreement passed by Congress in 1820 that allowed Missouri to enter the Union as a slave state and Maine as a free state, while also establishing a boundary line prohibiting slavery north of the 36°30′ parallel in future territories. The Dred Scott decision ultimately invalidated the Missouri Compromise.
