Answer: Sandford, legal case in which the U.S. Supreme Court on March 6, 1857, ruled that a slave (Dred Scott) who had resided in a free state and territory (where slavery was prohibited) was not thereby entitled to his freedom; that African Americans were not and could never be citizens of the United States
