Please brief me as to which Article of the Constitution tells us that "all men are created equal." While the phrase is used in the Declaration of Independance, the Declaration is a letter of resignation to the British Crown, not the foundation of our form of government.

As usual, libs don't let "feelings" get in the way of facts. which they like to make up as they go...

This re-examination comes too late to help Dred Scott or his wife, both of whom have been dead for a number of years.

The people who brought the lawsuit could have collected money to free Dred and Harriet, and set them free years before 1857. They were trying to make a point, which backfired.

Fortunately, despite losing the lawsuit, Dred and Harriet did get their freedom not long afterwards.
