How long was Dred Scott a precedent before it was overturned?

Dred Scot remained the law of the land until the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment in 1865, so about eight years.

It never was. The postwar amendments (13, 14, and 150 INVALIDATED IT.
But how long did Plessy v. Ferguson stand before it was overturned by Brown v. Board of Education? From 1896-1954, or almost 60 years.
By the standards of today's "progressives", that makes it a "superprecedent" which could not be overturned. Yet it was. And 58 years is longer than any ruling currenty standing has stood.

Eight years, 600 000 dead, and 1/3 of the country ruined.
