scott versus harris, this person was a car. it was a high-speed chase, he should not have been speeding but the police officers came up behind him and ran his car repeatedly, crushing him and turning him into a quadriplegic because they decided they had to stop the car because he was speeding and the supreme court said that was reasonable because he could have hurt some other people when he was speeding so it was fine for the police officer to do that even though it left him injured so that the law we are dealing with. if the law is bad for us. >> we keep talking in circles about bad policy. can we here? >> move closer, go ahead. >> we talk about bad policy in this country and shallow though it may be, from time to time that high morality point, we've tried to legislate that morality. going back to the late civil rights act of the 1960s and even recently as with the marriage for our gay brothers and sisters but at this point for black and brown bodies, what are our policy options? what is it that we should be articulating to le

scott versus harris, this person was in a car. it was a high-speed chase, he should not have been speeding, no question about it. police officers came behind him and rammed his car repeatedly crushing him and turning him into a quadriplegic, the supreme court said that was reasonable because he could have hurt some other people when he was speeding so it was fine for the police officers to do that even though it left him the way it did. that's the law we are dealing with and thank you for bringing up the case. if the law is bad for us, i'm sorry. >> we keep talking in circles about bad policies. >> i can't hear you. >> speak to the mic closer. >> we keep talking about bad policy in this country and shallow though it may be from time to time high morality points we have tried to legislate late that morality going back to the civil rights acts of 1960's and even recently equity and marriage for our tbai brothers -- gay brothers and sisters, for black and brown bodies, what are policy options, what is it that we should be articulatin

about sectionallism at this time, so you know what kind of case is receiving the case of dred scott. harry is watching us in oakland, maryland. you're on the hair. >> caller: hi, how are you doing this evening? >> great, thinks. >> caller: there were movements at that time in even some of the slave states towards abolition. i think virginia somewhere in the mid 1850s had an election, i'm not sure exactly what it was, but it was closer than you would think. but the question i have, how much weight did this really have ultimately to the civil war? could the wore have been avoided possibly had they ruled differently, you know, on this particular matter? >> that's a great question, and it is one of the things -- one of the, i think, overstatements about dred scott is the claim that it is the case that gives us the civil war. as chris bracey said, sectional tension is already very high by the time we get to 1857. probably we would ascribe the rising of that tension in the mid 1850s to the situation in kansas and the debate over whether or not kansas will be admitted as a slave state in the mid

this is the space that we -- that we speak about as being the dred and harry scott quarters. we refit it and outfitted the room in accordance with what we believe it would have looked like. this room is actually their living quarters, and it is interesting because their living quarters are located directly under emerson space. so the master, his space is right above them, right up here. so all of the noise of what it is that's happening upstairs, they will be able to hear that down here as well. we understand dred to be what we may see as a personal valet or a man servant. so he was the one who would tend to emerson's needs, maybe it was to shave him or if it was taking care of a horse or running errands or representing him in some sort of ways. those were the types of work and duty he was possibly do. harriet, anything from cooking, sewing, the laundry, the whole gamut is what you find harriet doing as well. >> so, chris bracey, this was about 1836 or so that dred and ultimately ha ultimately harriet scott were living in this area. what is significant to know about that part
