Best Answer

He lived in the South. But he was the slave of an army doctor who was posted to the North and took Scott with him. At that stage, Scott could have sued for his freedom, and it would have been granted automatically. But he didn't apply until he was back in slave country. That was the legal complication that got his case referred to the Supreme Court.

Which clause of the Fourteenth Amendment overturned the Supreme Court decision in the Dred Scott case?

Yes and No.While the Fourteenth Amendment did not completely overturn Dred Scott v. Sandford, (1857), it overturned major provisions of it. For example, Chief Justice Taney's opinion established that African Americans could never be citizens under the Constitution. However, the Equal Protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment created the concept of "substantive due process", which nullified this precedent.The Thirteenth Amendment actually outlawed slavery, which was key to the Dred Scott decision.Case Citation:Dred Scott v. Sandford, 60 US 393 (1857)For more information, see Related Questions, below.

How do the Scott's get their freedom?

The Scotts gained their freedom through a successful legal battle in which Dred Scott, a slave, sued for his freedom on the basis of being taken to live in free states and territories. The case ultimately reached the Supreme Court in the landmark decision of Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857), where the Court ruled against Scott, stating that as a black person, he was not a U.S. citizen and therefore could not sue in federal court.
