Dred Scott, a slave from Missouri, was taken to Illinois and Louisiana with his master. Since both areas were considered free, when Scott returned to Missouri, he filed a lawsuit claiming that since he had lived in those places he was a free man, though his master argued that that wasn't possible. In the end, the court ruled that Black people, whether slave or free, were not citizens of the United States and therefore Dred Scott didn't even have the right to sue at all. -
