“Let’s keep going before I get in trouble.” I felt that.

You are so good at keeping an even tone and not making your personal feelings obvious. This one musta been real tough

I’m not gonna lie, I was excited for this series when it first came out, but I think I can say with some confidence. That I and many others were worried that it wouldn’t live up to the hype. Never have I been so happy to be so wrong. Keep doing the good work of true patriots who love this country and it’s promise to all people that their rights be granted and secured, may the work bear fruits recognized to be the result of the work of those often forgotten.

This is something that I never learned about in school. I'm incredibly glad for having this course for moments like this. Thank you.

Heard this decision referenced several times, never learned this much about it. Thank you.

This case hits hard every time.

I have learned more about Black American History from CrashCourse and Clint Smith than any teachers I had growing up. Thank you so much for this. We must know the tragic decisions our country has made and acknowledge them if we are ever going to make a change. Thank you again these are the history lessons that teachers should've spent more time on.

7:14 I was feeling the same thing just then. I wanted to use some choice four letter words to describe Taney, but decided against it. I can’t imagine how African Americans at the time must have felt when they heard of the ruling.

People talking about how awesome the Supreme Court is should look at this case and the one against Plessy vs Ferguson

Thank you, CrashCourse, for a very thought-provoking series. I had no idea about the day-to-day discrimination that African Americans face until I married one. I would add that most of my friends have been black throughout my life, and I belonged to several predominantly black churches, but they never shared with me what their daily reality was like. It wasn't until I started living with my husband and talking to him and his family that I learned. My point is, please don't assume that we know. We don't. We have to be taught about it, not from books, but from the people that live it.

Amazing job on presenting this. This is what we should have been taught in school when I was younger.

I thought this was a wonderful presentation. But what happened to Dred Scott and his family after this decision? The on-line material also leaves this out. They get to the decision and then we don't learn how things transpired in later years for this pivotal family.

It might have been helpful to cite the 2 dissenting opinions in Scott V Sanford to help show that Blacks were considered citizens of the US in some states, proving that Taney was factually incorrect in his obiter dictum.

I wish you guys were around in 2003 when I had to study the Dredd Scott case as part of my Problems with Democracy class (yes, it was actually called that. It was a high school class, not college).

how do you know when you have an abhorrent social policy? when you have to establish technicalities that are absurd and absurdly cruel: case in point: if an enslaved man passes through free country, can he be considered free while in free country? If an enslaved man has one foot in a free state and one in a slave state, how much of the body is free? it reminds me of the bureaucratic insidiousness of the Wannsee Conference on Jewishness and the Final Solution. Thank you very much for this video.

Taney seemed to be the worst chief justice

Very informative. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Thanks for creating this crash course it will be alot more helpful to learn considering all these attacks on CRT

Thank you for a clear and concise explanation of the Dred Scott decision.

Another fantastic educational content 💯 The beginning is something I always thought about being an American

This man has more integrity, honor, class and intelligence than the majority of our former Supreme Court Justices combined and multiplied. Black Americans were treated horribly throughout history and imo should receive an apology and reparations. I believe just in the fact that the US government built the Middle class and entirely left out the black community is enough to deserve reparations and an formal apology by the United States Government. My second great grandfather fought for the confederate army during the Civil War. I am ashamed of that. Idk what kind of man he was but I can only assume he was at the minimum morally bankrupt.

Felt that sigh at 7:11

Thank you, again, for this work. I know it's hard and I'm so glad you're doing it. I hope this course becomes a must-watch part of high school for a lot of America.

I'm shivering with rage. (And I'm a white Swede)

Great video! Thank you for making this!

Excellent, thank you, for your dignity and honor in telling the truth about this tragic historical incident.

A "... deeply shameful moment in American history." Thank you for telling the story of the Dred Scott Decision.

I love you and what you're doing, Dr. Smith.

Helpful video, thanks!

Excellent research!!!!!!

I have watched most of your vedios ,it helps a lot

Thank you Professor Clint!!!!!!!

That's the most painful Supreme Court case I've ever heard

Ah yes the worst US supreme court decision in history, really saying something give it's history.

Ty for helping me

I just moved to the saint Louis area. I'll make some lemonade.... Illinois seems chill

7:11 Wow. Respect. 😢

Good video

We deep inhaled/exhaled at the exact same moment.

thanks

" I have a lot of feelings about Taney". Me too

i love that the host isn’t going to fast and isn’t being to happy during when he’s talking about millions of people being enslaved but not too sad, just the right amount, black american history is a sad, and inspirational roller coaster ;D

Has it been overturned yet?

I'm reading Cotton is King by E.N.Elliott..can you give me a clear understanding..Thanks

THIS!!!🔥

👏🏾

Fred had no “status” as a Blackman.

The system was awfully rigged from the beginning.

Woo let's goooo!

I'm white and feel so much anger over this as well! Thank you for this video! Any person regardless of color should be upset by this, any person with half a brain anyway!

Dred Scott vs Sanford is a tale of the shortcomings of judicial activism. This would have never been ruled this way if the judges all practiced originalism.

🐍🥷🏾🇺🇸🙂

How ridiculous is this case in the first place in the overall scheme of things,in the courts trying to figure out if a human being,who was ACTUALLY OWNED by another person........should be free........SMFH!!!

Taney LLLL
