Most slaves gained their freedom in 1850 by self-purchase. After the slave had scraped by and earned enough to purchase their freedom, they searched for and purchased their own families.
The American colonists, whose army was led by George Washington, wanted to gain their freedom from Great Britain.
Dred Scott was the famous slave who sued to gain his freedom and was denied by the US Supreme Court in Dred Scott v. Sandford, 60 U.S. 393 (1857). The decision in this case is considered one of the catalysts of the US Civil War.

The Dred Scott case was a decision by the United States Supreme Court in 1857.

Dred Scott was a slave who was taken into free states where he sued to gain his freedom. The U. S. Supreme Court held that blacks did not have citizenship and could not sue in federal court. The decision led to outrage among abolitionists in the north. It was important because it was a factor of the Civil War.
Scott didn't win his freedom and the decision reinforced the idea that slaves were property. The Missouri Compromise was a blow to the southern states to gain more slave states. I don't think the Scott decision added anything to the compromise, but it did entrench slavery in the states where it existed.
