#15 DRED SCOTT

from The Civil War & Reconstruction · host Richard Youngdahl

In which we take a look at the Dred Scott case and the fiasco over the Lecompton Constitution, and show how the snowballing negative consequences from those events finally caused the Democratic Party to, once & for all, split along sectional lines. A unified Republican Party will take advantage of that split & win the presidency in 1860. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
