Dred Scott
Born into slavery in 1795, the day not known, Scott was a slave and was soon escaped. He lived in multiple states and ended in Missouri. Then he found his wife, Harriet, and sued for his and his wives freedom.
Scott ended up sueing in the Federal Court, but the ruling said that former slaves couldn't get freedom in free states and that African Americans couldn't sue in the Federal Court
