Nothing much in the way of accomplishments.
He became famous because his application for freedom reached the Supreme Court, which inflamed the abolitionists by declaring that slavery was protected by the Constitution.
He would have accomplished more if he had had the sense to apply for his freedom while he was on free soil - when it would have been granted automatically - instead of waiting till he was back in slave country.

What was the significance of dred Scott decisions?
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.
