the dred scott case consists of great signifigance for many reasons. basically what happened was dred scotts master had said "once i die, you are all free" and so, once dred's master had passed on, he left the plantion thinking that he was now a free man. However, someone had found him, and turned him over to a judge as a a run away slave. Dred had explained to the judge what had happened, and that he was not breaking any laws, for he was now a free man. Dred demanded for rights. however, the judge had told him, "you are a slave. you have no rights" thus, he was forced back into slavery. so, the signifigance of this case is basically, that because of discrimination, a man who should have been free and who had served his sentance as a slave, was forced back into slavery all because of the color of his skin.
