The Civil War
Dred Scott (1795-1858) was born into slavery in Virginia and relocated with the family when it moved to St. Louis in 1830. In 1846, he sued to gain his freedom. After 11 years, in a landmark decision, he was denied his freedom by the U. S. Supreme Court. His case contributed to the tension building between the states prior to the Civil War. In 1857, Scott's freedom was purchased by the sons of his first owner.
