Scott, Dred

0.01 sec.

Scott, Dred (c. 1795–1858) slave, plaintiff; born in Southampton County, Va. After 1827 he lived mostly in St. Louis, being passed among various owners. In a historic test case he sued for his freedom based on a five-year residence in free territories, but the Supreme Court ruled against him (1857). Freed later that year, he became a hotel porter and a minor celebrity in St. Louis.
