Dred Scott's Revenge carefully chronicles the horrific effects of slavery that have trickled down to the present day...and that have been sponsored by our government, and upheld by our courts. A fascinating look at the chain of cause-and-effect within American race relations, Judge Andrew P. Napolitano lays the blame squarely upon the American government that enshrined and protected-or was fearful and did nothing-about the discrimination African-Americans faced. With the Dred Scott decision of 1857 as the centerpiece, he makes the case against American statesmen from Lincoln to Wilson, FDR to JFK. Jim Crow, slavery, segregation are all shown to have been created by a legally endorsed racial hatred that was given a cultural and political context in which to flourish. 288 indexed pages, hardcover with dust jacket.
