Dred Scott

Dred Scott was an enslaved Black man in Missouri. In 1834 he was taken to Illinois. Illinois was a free state, meaning that slavery was illegal there. Scott later lived in the territory of Wisconsin, where slavery was also illegal. When Scott was taken back to Missouri, he sued for his freedom. He argued that the time he had spent in a free state and a free territory had made him free.

Dred Scott v. Sanford

This legal action to get his freedom is known as the Dred Scott v. Sanford case. His case was rejected by the Supreme Court. Many people were angry at the decision, and slavery became one of the main issues in the American Civil War a few years later. Dred Scott lived and died a slave, despite his best efforts to become a free man in the Supreme Court case that bears his name.

Important points in Dred Scott Case

• Court ruled because Scott was a slave he was not a citizen and wasn't protected by the constitution

• Since he was not a citizen, the court could not take away the slave owners PROPERTY

• This was done partly in order to appease (make happy) slave states

• This case increased tension between free and slave states

• helped lead to civil war
