Dred Scott Was not Freed Because of the severe Racism and discrimination against slaves. Most slave owners did their best to make slaves miserable. this was not in scotts case though. He was also not freed because the chief justice that oversaw scotts hearing was Proslavery which completley put out scotts chances of being freed. Taney Decreed that the Missouri compromise was unconstitutional, Scott was to stay a slave, Scott was not a U.S. citizen, and he could not sue BECAUSE he wasn't a U.S. citizen.
