Dred Scott "Key"
dred scotts master was dr. john Emerson
i have no clue
yes it did
dred scott attempted to leave the state he lived in which was a slave state and moved to a free slave so he can be "free" but slave is property and cannot be free ,
Historians estimate Dred Scott was born in Virginia around 1799. Unfortunately, due to the conditions of slavery, there are no known records identifying Scott's birth parents, or any information regarding his early life.
Dred Scott Was not Freed Because of the severe Racism and discrimination against slaves. Most slave owners did their best to make slaves miserable. this was not in scotts case though. He was also not freed because the chief justice that oversaw scotts hearing was Proslavery which completley put out scotts chances of being freed. Taney Decreed that the Missouri compromise was unconstitutional, Scott was to stay a slave, Scott was not a U.S. citizen, and he could not sue BECAUSE he wasn't a U.S. citizen.
the dred scott case consists of great signifigance for many reasons. basically what happened was dred scotts master had said "once i die, you are all free" and so, once dred's master had passed on, he left the plantion thinking that he was now a free man. However, someone had found him, and turned him over to a judge as a a run away slave. Dred had explained to the judge what had happened, and that he was not breaking any laws, for he was now a free man. Dred demanded for rights. however, the judge had told him, "you are a slave. you have no rights" thus, he was forced back into slavery. so, the signifigance of this case is basically, that because of discrimination, a man who should have been free and who had served his sentance as a slave, was forced back into slavery all because of the color of his skin.
Chief Justice Taney argued that Dred Scott did not have the legal standing to sue for his freedom because African Americans, whether enslaved or free, were not considered US citizens under the Constitution. Taney also maintained that as a slave, Scott was viewed as property rather than a person with rights.

It would have done - automatically - if he had applied for his freedom while on free soil. But he tried to apply retrospectively when he was back in slave country, and local judges had never dealt with this kind of application.
