In Dredd Scott, the Supreme Court had a very particular issue to consider: that of whether or not an African American had standing to sue in federal court.
The Supreme Court ultimately decided that while Scott was a citizen of a free state, he was not a US citizen and was not entitled to standing as a US citizen.

The homestead act allowed settlers from the west settle on land, only paying a small fee. but they must stay on their land for 5 years before getting the land. They were allowed to leave the land but must be present when the inspector comes to see how they are doing.
