The events of the 1960s to 1973 in Bronx, New York have shown many similarities and differences to the Dred Scott v. Sanford case in 1857. My viewpoint on the entrenchment of enslavement which helped the creation of the identity of hip-hop, as shown in the behavior of the gangs in Jamaica and the gangs in the Bronx, is that I think it is interesting. The Dred Scott v. Sanford case (1857) is a monumental case in the history of civil rights. Dred Scott was an enslaved African in Missouri at the time. Scott belonged to a slave owner by the name of John Emerson.

During the early-to-mid 1800s, the North and South had begun to seriously argue on the issue of slavery. While the South were in favor of keeping slavery, the North could not wait to be rid of it. The decision of the Dred Scott case would be known as an important event which would spark the friction between the North and South to rise drastically. Dred Scott, an African American slave, sued for his freedom because he had lived in a free state for most of his time in the United States. In the ruling at Supreme Court, Chief Justice Taney had ruled that because he was an African American slave, Dred Scott could not sue for the reason that Scott was not a citizen and that he was property.

The aftermath of the Kansas-Nebraska Act began the violence known as Bleeding Kansas, which was the result of countless conflicts of pro-slaver and anti-slavery settlers. To make matters worse three years later, the Supreme Court issued its decision on the Dred Scott v. Sandford case. Chief Justice Roger B. Taney stated, “… the right of property in a slave is distinctly and expressly affirmed in the Constitution. The right to traffic in it, like an ordinary article of merchandise and property, was guarantied to the citizens of the United States, in every State that might desire it, for twenty years. And the Government in express terms is pledged to protect it in all future time….”11
