The case of Dred Scott, a black slave whose owners transported him from Missouri, a slave-holding state, to Illinois and the Wisconsin Territory, where slavery was prohibited, led to the decision.
Later, when his owners took him back to Missouri, Scott filed a court petition for his freedom, arguing that since they had transported him into "free" U.S. territory, he was now immediately free and no longer a slave.
Thus, option C is correct.
<h3>What resulted from the Dred Scott ruling in the end?</h3>
Scott and his family were kept in slavery as a result of the federal court's decision in the Dred Scott v. Sandford case, which was heard on May 15, 1854.
Scott appealed his case to the US Supreme Court in December 1854. The case went to trial on February 11, 1856.
