At a meeting at the county courthouse, Jessamine County Democrats demonstrate their support for the outcome of the Dred Scott case and declare the “rights of citizens to hold any species of property.”

At a meeting at Mingo Tavern in Jessamine County’s Nicholasville, town trustees authorize the whipping of slaves found traveling without a pass.

Associate Justice of the Supreme Court John McLean, an anti-slavery egalitarian Methodist from Nicholasville, was one of two justices to dissent to the majority ruling of the Dred Scott v. Sandford case. The ruling stated that enslaved people were not citizens of the United States and could not, therefore, expect protection from the Federal government or the courts.
