The Dred Scott decision was about a slave, Dred Scott, that traveled to Wisconsin with his master. He spent time in Wisconsin, and by the time he went back to Missouri he went to court to fight for his freedom. This made Chief Justice Taney decide that African American slaves could never become American citizens.

Henry Clay, a senator from Kentucky, wrote a compromise so that California could be admitted into the Union as a free state. The compromise allowed New Mexico and Utah decide if they would like to be a slave state. Along with this agreement, the Washington DC slave trade would be stopped, so no new slaves could be brought in.
