Answer 1

one of the findings was: B. slaves were property
Dred Scott v. Sandford happens in 1857 and considered a landmark decision at that time regarding the citizenship of African American.
The court at that time ruled that since the slaves were brought to this country for the purpose of business, they technically only held the status as property and shall not be allowed to obtain citizenship,
