Who was dred Scott and what decision was made concerning him?
Scott was the slave of an army doctor who was posted to the North, and rather unwisely took his slave with him. In the North, a slave would be granted his freedom automatically - if he applied for it. Scott did not apply for it. Eventually, the two of them returned to slave country, the doctor died, and the slave was left to his family in the will. It was only then that Scott applied for his freedom, hoping to qualify under the 'Once free, always free' tradition. The local judges had never dealt with this kind of retro-appeal before, and so it eventually reached the Supreme Court. Not surprisingly, the Court rejected Scott's application. But their verdict was delivered in terms that greatly provoked the Northern Abolitionists. The elderly Chief Justice (ironically a one-time Abolitionist) chose this moment to interpret the Constitution precisely as he believed the Founding Fathers would have seen it in 1776. When they declared that a man's property was sacred, they would have included slaves in their definition of property. This meant that slavery was legal in every state of the Union. Of course, the South rejoiced at this official endorsement of slavery. And the Northern Abolitionists were equally horrified. The Dred Scott decision is one of the issues that drove the two sides further apart, and closer to war.

It would have done - automatically - if he had applied for his freedom while on free soil. But he tried to apply retrospectively when he was back in slave country, and local judges had never dealt with this kind of application.

What did the dred Scott case say about enslaved people?
Nothing very flattering - from either side. Scott had had his opportinity to claim freedom when he was in the Northern states, but he didn't do it. He then tried to claim it later, on a retrospective basis, and the local judges had not dealt with this kind of case before. It was referred to the Supreme Court, which declared that a black man was not the sort of persion who should be suing a white man.

How did Dred Scott win the US Supreme Court case?
He was a slave whose owner had taken him to live in a free state for a time, before they returned to slave country. When his owner died, he was left, as property, to the dead man's family. Scott tried to sue for his freedom on the 'Once free, always free' principle, but was told he should have applied while he was living on free soil. He appealed against this judgment, but the local judges had never dealt with this kind of application before, and it ended up in the Supreme Court. This court, under the elderly Chief Justice, Roger Taney, delivered an astonishing verdict - that slavery was legal in every state of the Union, because the Founding Fathers had declared that a man's property (including his slaves) was sacred. This divided the nation even more deeply, and brought war closer.
What is the Scott key case civil war?
You're probably thinking of the Dred Scott case. Scott was a slave who applied for his freedom on the grounds that he had once been taken on to free soil, before returning to slave country. Local judges had not dealt with this kind of application before, so the case reached the Supreme Court. Here the Chief Justice decided to invoke the Constitution as he thought the Founding Fathers had meant it. When they had declared that a man's property was sacred, they would have included slaves in their definition of property. This appeared to mean that slavery was legal in every state of the Union. The decision split the nation even further than it was already, and brought the Civil War closer.

What did dred Scott owner do?
The owner was an Army doctor who had spent most of his career near home in slave-country. When he was sent to a Northern posting, he took his slave with him. At that point, Scott could have applied for his freedom, and it would have been granted automatically. For some reason, he didn't, and the two of them eventually returned South. When the doctor died, Scott was left to his brother-in-law in his will as property. Scott then tried to apply for his freedom retrospectively. The local judges had never dealt with this kind of application before, and that is why it reached the Supreme Court, where it became a highly controversial case.
