Army surgeon Dr. John Emerson owned Scott. He died before the Dred Scott case was over. His widow appealed the case after his death which ended up in the Supreme Court which decided the Scott should not be freed.
Dred Scott sued for his freedom after moving to Missouri with his owner. The case, Dred Scott v. Sandford, reached the U.S. Supreme Court in 1857 and resulted in a decision that further entrenched slavery in the United States.
Dred Scott was a slave who sued his owner for freedom in the United States in the 1850s. The case, Dred Scott v. Sandford, reached the U.S. Supreme Court, which ultimately ruled against Scott, stating that slaves were property and not citizens, thereby denying his freedom.
Dred Scott, a slave, sued for his freedom after being taken by his owner to free territories. The landmark Supreme Court case of Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857) ruled that even though Scott was in a free territory, he was not entitled to freedom because he was property under the law.
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.
The Dred Scott case was brought to the Supreme Court to resolve the legal status of Dred Scott, an enslaved man who claimed his freedom because he had lived in free territories with his owner. The case raised questions about slavery in the United States and whether enslaved individuals could be considered citizens with legal rights.

the owner didnt take him there his owner died and he fled. his name is Dred Scott and he lost the dred Scott case.
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.
