John Brown (1800–1859) was an abolitionist who believed God had commanded him to rid the land of slavery. (Encyclopedia.com)

Dred Scott decision (Dred Scott v. John F.A. Sandford), legal case in which the U.S. Supreme Court on March 6, 1857, ruled (7–2) that a slave (Dred Scott) who had resided in a free state and territory (where slavery was prohibited) was not thereby entitled to his freedom; that African Americans were not and could never be citizens of the United States; and that the Missouri Compromise (1820), which had declared free all territories west of Missouri and north of latitude 36°30′, was unconstitutional. The decision added fuel to the sectional controversy and pushed the country closer to civil war (Encyclopedia Britannica).
