Reviews

A penetrating and readable study of one of the most controversial cases in American constitutional history. Maltz skillfully situates Dred Scott in the complex political and legal climate of the 1850s and demonstrates how the decision heightened sectional tensions. His masterly and balanced account will enlighten both scholars and students. James W. Ely Jr., author of The Guardian of Every Other Right: A Constitutional History of Property Rights ""Maltz clarifies the legal complexities of Dred Scott while illuminating the larger forces that produced it. Brimming with insights, this book is a model study of a landmark case."" Timothy S. Huebner, author of The Southern Judicial Tradition: State Judges and Sectional Distinctiveness, 1790-1890
