The Dred Scott case is one of the most famous Supreme Court cases in US history. In this case, Dred Scott his suing for his freedom. Even though Scott was a slave, his master brought him to live in the Illinois territory (which outlawed slavery). Scott argued that living in a free territory made him a free man.

However, the Supreme Court ruled against him. Chief Justice Roger Taney stated that slaves are property, not people. Therefore, they had no "legal rights which white men are bound to respect." This ruling was critical, as it essentially made slavery legal everywhere. This is because slave owners can bring their slaves wherever they want without having to worry about them becoming free.
