"...a more perfect union". Nice touch to close out another great video.

If you want more informatoi about Dred Scott decision. You should read Men In Black About these robed men we call judges . Very fascinating. Mr. Levin Delves into this case.

Great informative and educational episode once again! Jayme, you do a great job of presenting a vast amount of information in such a short and concise time frame; wow! On a more personal note, I imagine your family might be a little camera shy, but could you get them on camera at least once? We want to see and meet them. As far as museum recommendations around this time frame, you should consider filming an episode at the Texas Civil War Museum in Fort Worth. A lot of people do not know it even exists, let alone the fact it is the largest Civil War Museum west of the Mississippi River.

What a beautiful building. I love the artwork up inside the dome. I love also how they have put a musem about the Dred Scott case in there. Some seem to forget too that the Dred Scott decision was the catalyst that made John Brown become more radical as he headed towards Kansas and also outraged an Illinois lawyer named Abraham Lincoln to get back into politics after he was disappointed with his stint in Congress

Great video, a more perfect union is what we still strive for

Thanks. Absolutely amazing how that Supreme Court could have that Decision, but as you stated helped create further opposition to Slavery.

I visited the old courthouse. It is beautiful on the inside.

Yes when I lived there that was one of the frist places I went

Pretty cool place!

There many times those wooden steps inside pictures throughout the rotunda

Dred Scott was later freed by the Edmond's family and died a free man.

You have a very steady camera hand! Internal camera stabilization or gimbal? Is there any chance I could use some of the footage for a documentary I am making? I can credit you personally or your channel

I wish all these people that hate our beautiful country would watch your videos. Maybe they might learn some history of our country. Then followed by a mandatory stay of 6 months in a Communist country. I believe they would see that they live in the best country in this world.🇺🇸
